Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The primary outcome measure of the APPEAL-study is anastomotic leakage, defined as an insufficiency of the anastomosis, demonstrated by either endoscopy, radiologic studies or operation and leading to a clinical state that requires an intervention. These interventions are:<br /><br> a) Therapeutic drainage<br /><br> b) Use of therapeutic antibiotics<br /><br> c) Any surgical intervention, for example:<br /><br> • Construction diverting stoma<br /><br> • Construction new anastomosis<br /><br> • Surgical disconnection of the <br> anastomosis<br /><br> • Suturing<br /><br><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comparison of the studied potential biomarkers in terms of speed, accuracy and cost-effectiveness<br>Study the capacity of the potential biomarkers to distinguish between clinically manifest and subclinical anastomotic leakage<br>
