The studies involved 111043 patients, with a trial size of 1001\u201388184 people. A statistically significant difference was observed in the overall survival (OS) between colorectal cancer patients administered TIVA and IA (hazard ratio [HR], 0.83; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.70\u20130.99), but none in recurrence-free survival (RFS) (HR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.90\u20131.08). In the subgroup analysis of OS, no statistically significant difference was observed between colorectal cancer patients administered TIVA and IA in Asia (HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.57\u20131.05), and not in Europe (HR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.93\u20131.06). Regarding tumour location, no significant association was found between TIVA and IA in the colon, rectum and colorectum ((HR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.38\u20131.28), (HR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.83\u20131.08) and (HR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.93\u20131.06), respectively).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>OS differed significantly between patients administered TIVA and IA when undergoing colorectal cancer resection, but no difference was observed in RFS.
