| Abstract |
Anastomotic leak (AL) is a serious complication of intestinal surgery with various predisposing factors. This study aims to assess several risk factors associated with AL after small intestinal and colonic anastomoses through a multivariate analysis. Two hundred twenty-four patients (126 males) with intestinal anastomosis of a median age of 44 years were reviewed. Independent factors associated with AL were male gender (OR = 2.59, P = 0.02), chronic liver disease (CLD) (OR = 8.03, P < 0.0001), more than one associated comorbidity (OR = 5.34, P = 0.017), anastomosis conducted as emergency (OR = 2.73, P = 0.012), colonic anastomosis (OR = 2.51, P = 0.017), preoperative leukocytosis (OR = 2.57, P = 0.015), and intraoperative blood transfusion (OR = 2.25, P = 0.037). Predicative factors significantly associated with AL were male gender, CLD, multiple comorbidities, emergent anastomoses, colonic anastomoses, preoperative leukocytosis, and intraoperative blood transfusion. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 December 2017.
All research outputs
#7,680,182
of 24,840,108 outputs
Outputs from Indian Journal of Surgery
#115
of 680 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#108,387
of 322,278 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Indian Journal of Surgery
#2
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,840,108 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 680 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 322,278 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
