Risk of Bleeding and Venous Thromboembolism after Colorectal Cancer Surgery in Patients with and without Type 2 Diabetes: A Danish Cohort Study

Abstract

Background Bleeding and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are adverse outcomes after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) clusters with bleeding and VTE risk factors. We examined the bleeding and VTE risk in patients with T2D undergoing CRC surgery and the prognosis after these adverse outcomes.
