- BACKGROUND: Low anterior resection syndrome is common after sphincter-sparing surgery, but it is unclear to what extent anastomotic leakage after anterior resection contributes to this condition. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to assess the long-term effect of anastomotic leakage on the occurrence of major low anterior resection syndrome. DESIGN: This is a retrospective observational cohort study evaluating low anterior resection syndrome 4 to 11 years after index surgery. After propensity score-matching using the covariates sex, age, tumor stage, comorbidity, neoadjuvant treatment, extent of mesorectal excision, and defunctioning stoma at index surgery, the effect of anastomotic leakage on low anterior resection syndrome was investigated using relative risk and 95% CI. SETTINGS: This multicenter study included patients from 15 Swedish hospitals between 2007 and 2013. PATIENTS: Patients who underwent anterior resection for rectal cancer were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Outcome measures included patient-reported major low anterior resection syndrome, obtained via a postal questionnaire that included a question on stoma status. RESULTS: Among 1099 patients, 653 (59.4%) responded in at a median of 83.5 (interquartile range 66 to 110) months postoperatively. After excluding patients with residual stoma or incomplete responses, 544 remained; of these, 42 had anastomotic leakage. Patients with anastomotic leakage were more likely to have major low anterior resection syndrome (66.7% [28/42]) than patients without leakage (45.8% [230/502]). After matching, anastomotic leakage was significantly related to major low anterior resection syndrome (relative risk 2.3; 95% CI 1.4-3.9) and the individual symptom of urgency (relative risk 2.1; 95% CI 1.1-4.1). LIMITATIONS: This study was limited by its retrospective observational study design. CONCLUSIONS: In long-term follow-up, major low anterior resection syndrome is common after anterior resection for rectal cancer. Anastomotic leakage appears to increase the risk of major low anterior resection syndrome, with urgency as a major contributing symptom.

- Background: The causes and effects of anastomotic leakage after anterior resection are difficult to study in small samples and have thus been evaluated using large population-based national registries. To assess the accuracy of such research, registries should be validated continuously.Material and methods: Patients who underwent anterior resection for rectal cancer during 2007-2013 in 15 different hospitals in three healthcare regions in Sweden were included in the study. Registry data and information from patient records were retrieved. Registered anastomotic leakage within 30 postoperative days was evaluated, using all available registry data and using only the main variable anastomotic insufficiency. With the consensus definition of anastomotic leakage developed by the International Study Group on Rectal Cancer as reference, validity measures were calculated.Results: Some 1507 patients were included in the study. The negative and positive predictive values for registered anastomotic leakage were 96 and 88%, respectively, while the -value amounted to 0.76. The false-negative rate was 29%, whereas the false-positive rate reached 1.3% (the vast majority consisting of actual leaks, but occurring after postoperative day 30). Using the main variable anastomotic insufficiency only, the false-negative rate rose to 41%.Conclusions: There is considerable underreporting of anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer in the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry. It is probable that this causes an underestimation of the true effects of leakage on patient outcomes, and further quality control is needed.
