The aim of our study was to review our data to determine if the steroid dosage is associated with the incidence of early complications after bowel resection in patients with prolonged steroid therapy for Crohn\u2019s disease (CD). Altogether, 397 patients underwent bowel resection with primary intestinal anastomoses for CD between 1982 and 2000\u00a0in our institution. The mortality and morbidity rates, anastomotic leakage, wound infections, intraabdominal abscesses, reoperation rate, and length of postoperative hospitalization in patients who were having high\u2010dose (\u2265 20\u00a0mg of prednisolone per day, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 73) and low\u2010dose (&lt; 20\u00a0mg prednisolone per day, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 146) steroid therapy for more than 1\u00a0month before surgery were compared with those of patients (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 177) who were not receiving steroids. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher\u2019s exact test and Student\u2019s <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\u2010test, with <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05 considered significant. The three groups were similar in terms of gender, duration since first diagnosis, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, and obesity. Mortality, morbidity, anastomotic leakage, wound infections, intraabdominal abscesses, reoperation rate, and average postoperative stay were not statistically different in patients with high\u2010dose, low\u2010dose, or no steroid therapy. The only factor associated with increased morbidity was a low preoperative hemoglobin level. Our results demonstrate that, in patients who are undergoing bowel resection for CD, even high\u2010dose prolonged preoperative systemic steroid therapy is not associated with increased postoperative complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-003-6972-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,7,22]],"date-time":"2004-07-22T01:11:50Z","timestamp":1090458710000},"page":"1306-1310","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Preoperative Steroid Administration: Effect on Morbidity among Patients Undergoing Intestinal Bowel Resection for Crohn\u2019s Disease"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Matthias","family":"Bruewer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery University of Muenster Waldeyerstrasse 1 D\u201048149 Muenster Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Markus","family":"Utech","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery University of Muenster Waldeyerstrasse 1 D\u201048149 Muenster Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emile J.M.","family":"Rijcken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery University of Muenster Waldeyerstrasse 1 D\u201048149 Muenster Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christoph","family":"Anthoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery University of Muenster Waldeyerstrasse 1 D\u201048149 Muenster Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mike G.","family":"Laukoetter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery University of Muenster Waldeyerstrasse 1 D\u201048149 Muenster Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sabine","family":"Kersting","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery University of Muenster Waldeyerstrasse 1 D\u201048149 Muenster Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Norbert","family":"Senninger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery University of Muenster Waldeyerstrasse 1 D\u201048149 Muenster Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christian F.","family":"Krieglstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery University of Muenster Waldeyerstrasse 1 D\u201048149 Muenster Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,10,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"The outcome of excisional operations for primary and recurrent Crohn\u2019s disease of the large intestine","volume":"148","author":"Goligher JC","year":"1979","journal-title":"Surg.
