Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary endpoint is the intraoperative fluid balance. It was determined in litres at the end of each operation and expressed as the difference between fluid input and fluid output. The fluid input was calculated on the basis of the volume information on the infusion solutions and blood products supplied, while the fluid output was determined by measuring the volume.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
A secondary endpoint was the rate of postoperative complications that occurred during the postoperative stay. This information was taken (retrospectively) from the patient file.<br><br>Another secondary endpoint was the survival rate at 1 year and 5 years after surgery. As part of the clinical routine, all patients and their general practitioners were contacted (independent of the study) regularly every 6 months and asked about their condition (and survival). This information and any date of death were noted in the medical records (independently of the study). For the study, this information was taken from the patient file.
