S urgical Site Infection (SSI) significantly hampers the benefits of surgical interventions and requires early identification
and prediction especially in colorectal surgeries. The aim this study is to investigate the association between abdominal
physiological features (including Subcutaneous Fat Thickness (SFT), Rectus Abdominis Thickness (RAT), abdomen depth
and the occurrence of SSI in patients receiving elective radical resection of colon cancer. We conducted a retrospective case-
control study. 55 patients in SSI and non-SSI groups were collected using propensity score match. Demographics, clinical
characteristics, pre- and intra-operative data were compared between groups. Significant elements were subsequently brought
into logistic regression and receiver-operating characteristic analysis for further identification. Patients in SSI group exhibited
lower preoperative albumin (p=0.0022), higher RAT (p=0.014), AD (p=0.029) and the multiplied value (RAT×AD) (p=0.0026)
compared to patients in non-SSI group. RAT×AD was an independent risk factor for SSI (OR=1.007, p<0.001) and could serve
as a biomarker for SSI prediction (AUC=0.83, 95% CI: 0.74~0.91) in this cohort of patients. In conclusion, pre-operative rectus
abdominis thickness and abdomen depth correlate with the risk of postoperative SSI in patients receiving elective radical
resection of colon cancer.
