Potential risk factors for wound dehiscence were identified by cross-matching between the SCRCR and the National Patient Register (NPR). The endpoint in this study was reoperation for wound dehiscence registered in either the SCRCR or NPR and patients not reoperated were considered controls.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 30,050 patients were included in the study. In a multivariable regression analysis, age &gt;\u200970\u00a0years, male gender, BMI &gt;\u200930, history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, history of generalised inflammatory disease, and duration of surgery less than 180\u00a0min were independently and significantly associated with increased risk for wound dehiscence. A history of diabetes, chronic renal disease, liver cirrhosis, and distant metastases was not associated with wound dehiscence. The hazard ratio for postoperative death was 1.24 for patients who underwent reoperation for wound dehiscence compared with that for controls.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients reoperated for wound dehiscence face a significantly higher postoperative mortality than those without.

Patients at high risk for developing wound dehiscence may, if identified preoperatively, benefit from active prevention measures implemented in routine surgical practice.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00384-019-03390-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,9]],"date-time":"2019-09-09T06:02:40Z","timestamp":1568008960000},"page":"1757-1762","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Incidence of wound dehiscence after colorectal cancer surgery: results from a national population-based register for colorectal cancer"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7627-6033","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Harald","family":"S\u00f6derb\u00e4ck","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ulf","family":"Gunnarsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Martling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Per","family":"Hellman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gabriel","family":"Sandblom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"3390_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1608","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-005-7929-3","volume":"29","author":"JW Burger","year":"2005","unstructured":"Burger JW, Lange JF, Halm JA, Kleinrensink GJ, Jeekel H (2005) Incisional hernia: early complication of abdominal surgery.
