Cover Story: Long-term survival after emergency colorectal cancer surgery is low, and its estimation is most frequently neglected. We retrospectively studied 437 patients who underwent emergency surgery for colorectal cancer. We created a multivariate logistic regression model that included eight independent prognostic factors: age > 63 years, Charlson score > 4, revised cardiac risk index, lymphocytes/neutrophils ratio, tumor site, macroscopic tumoral invasion, surgery type, and lymph node dissection, with an area under the curve of 0.831. The nomogram created has a good individual prediction of overall survival and may support clinicians when informing patients about prognosis. View this paper
