Abbreviation: NA, not applicable.

a

Univariable and multivariable analysis for the odds on different preoperative and postoperative outcomes for 2014 to 2016 for screen-detected vs non–screen-detected patients undergoing surgery for primary colorectal cancer.

b

Frequency of missing values in multivariable analysis colon: 49 (0.2%) (missing: sex, n = 10; age, n = 12; American Society of Anesthesiologists score, n = 7; previous abdominal surgery, n = 21). Frequency of missing values rectum: 191 (2%) (missing: sex, n = 8; age, n = 8; American Society of Anesthesiologists score, n = 2; tumor distance from anal verge, n = 167).

c

The following factors were included in the multivariable model to correct for differences in case mix between patients: age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, Charlson comorbidity score, any tumor-related complication, previous abdominal surgery, pathologic tumor classification, presence of metastasis, additional resection due to tumor invasion, and additional resection due to metastasis.

d

Added for the colon: location of tumor within colon.

e

Significant values.

f

Added for the rectum: received radiotherapy (no short-course radiotherapy with immediate surgery, short-course radiotherapy with delayed surgery, or chemoradiation/long-course radiotherapy), procedure (lower anterior resection, abdominal perineal resection, or different), clinical tumor classification, and tumor distance from anal verge.
