Factors influencing change of preoperative treatment intent in a gastrointestinal cancer practice

Table 5 Multiple logistic regression of variables associated with the failure to perform a curative resection (confirmation of unresectability, or R1/2 resection)

Covariate	p Value	OR
Biliary case	< 0.0001	5.83
Combined purpose preoperatively	< 0.0001	3.60
No benign treatment purpose preoperatively	0.0002	19.67
Stomach case	0.0054	2.82
Pancreas case	0.0108	2.36

OR = odds ratio
Combined purpose preoperatively: multiple indications (such as cure, access, benign condition treatment) existed simultaneously
No benign treatment purpose preoperatively: a benign condition treatment indication (such as cholecystectomy for gallstones, incisional hernia mesh repair, etc.) did not exist aside from the curative indication
