@entity1 @entity834 @entity5 @entity3622 @entity14
UNASSIGNED: Purpose. @entity834 leakage accounts for up to 1/3 of all fatalities after @entity5 surgery. Evidence suggests that @entity834 has a negative prognostic impact on @entity5 recurrence and long-term @entity5 specific survival. The reported leakage rate in 2011 in Denmark varied from 7 to 45 percent. The objective was to clarify if the reporting of @entity834 to the Danish @entity14 Group was rigorous and unequivocal. Methods. An Internet-based questionnaire was e-mailed to all Danish surgical departments, who reported to Danish @entity14 Group (DCCG) in 2011. There were 23 questions. Four core questions were whether pelvic collection, fecal appearance in a pelvic drain, @entity3622 , and "watchfull" waiting @entity1 were reported as @entity834 . Results. Fourteen out of 17 departments, who in 2011 according to DDCG performed @entity5 surgery, answered the questionnaire. This gave a response rate of 82%. In three of four core questions there was disagreement in what should be reported as @entity834 . Conclusion. The reporting of @entity834 to the Danish @entity14 Group was not rigorous and unequivocal. The reported @entity834 rate in Danish @entity14 Group should be interpreted with caution.
