An observational study in Incidence and Risk Factors of Low Anterior Resection Syndrome, sponsored by Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University. Completed at 1 site in China. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-05-13.
Sponsored by Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University · Observational
Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) frequently occurs in patients undergoing low anterior resection (LAR). However, the incidence, exact mechanism and risk factors of major LARS largely variate in different studies. Considering varieties and differences of patient characteristics between Chinese patients and the western ones, this retrospective study aims to investigate the incidence of LARS in Chinese patients undergoing laparoscopic LAR, and to explore perioperative risk factors that might be associated with major LARS. Consequent patients undergoing laparoscopic LAR and free from disease recurrence from January 2015 to May 2021 were issued with LARS questionnaire. Incidence of LARS and patient data were collected and analyzed.
85 studies on the registry are indexed under Low Anterior Resection Syndrome; 36 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 261 is above the median of 125 across 27 observational studies indexed under Low Anterior Resection Syndrome.
