Logistic regression. The model was adjusted for: Gender, age, BMI, ASA grade, ischemic heart disease, diabetes, smoking, haemoglobin, operating surgeon, urgency, defunctioning/primary stoma, duration of operation, operative approach, anastomosis type, unplanned intraoperative adverse events, CRP, previous surgery, resection type and skin closure.
