BACKGROUND/AIMS: Surgery for @entity418 is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. With this study, we investigated if a validated preoperative risk score correlates with overall morbidity, mortality, @entity1576 and with the severity of complications after open Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy. METHODS: A total of 94 @entity1 undergoing esophageal resection for @entity420 between 2005 and 2009 were included. @entity1 were assigned using the preoperative risk score according to Schr  der et al. [Langenbecks Arch Surg 2006;391:455-460] and the Dindo classification regarding the severity of complications. RESULTS: Of all the @entity1 , 12% had a 'normal', 54% a 'moderate' and 34% a 'high' preoperative risk score. @entity260 occurred in 79%. Furthermore, 36 or 21 or 14 or 7% of @entity1 experienced complications of @entity34 , respectively. There was a significant association between preoperative risk score and overall morbidity (p = 0.010), mortality (p = 0.035) and @entity1887 (p = 0.023). Furthermore, higher preoperative risk score was significant related to increasing severity of @entity260 (grade IV according to the Dindo classification: p = 0.018, Dindo grade V: p = 0.035). Neoadjuvant therapy consisting of @entity900 and @entity1487 had no influence. CONCLUSION: As we demonstrated, a significant association between preoperative risk score and occurrence and severity of @entity260 after open Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy, standardized, organ-specific pre- and postoperative categorizations might be useful for individual clinical decision making in this group of @entity1 .
