Abstract
Compared to other Western studies, surgical morbidity in the CRITICS trial was slightly higher whereas mortality was low. Complications following anastomotic leakage was the most important factor for postoperative mortality. Important proxies for developing postoperative complications were failure to complete preoperative chemotherapy, splenectomy, male sex, total gastrectomy, and oesophago-cardia resection.
