In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

Input: Consider Input: Context: Poor condition at operation determined by the physiologic POSSUM score is related to postoperative mortality and morbidity of colorectal cancer surgery. This study was designed to analyze the relationship between condition of patients with colorectal cancer at operation and long-term overall survival.', 'A total of 542 patients survived a radical resection for Stages I, II, or III colorectal cancer. Physiologic POSSUM score at surgery, exclusive of age, was calculated for all patients. Mean physiologic POSSUM score was used as cutoff point to determine low-risk and high-risk group patients. A Cox proportional hazard analysis was performed to study the effect of low-risk and high-risk group on overall survival and to identify independent risk factors.', 'Five-year overall survival was significantly higher in low-risk group patients than in high-risk group patients (low-risk group 66.6 percent vs. high-risk group 48.5 percent; P < 0.001). Differences in overall survival also were found when patients in Stages I, II, and III were analyzed separately. Risk factors for overall survival were advanced stage of disease, poor tumor differentiation, mucinous adenocarcinoma, older than age 70 years, and poor condition of the patient at time of operation.\Question: Does pOSSUM predict decreased overall survival in curative resection for colorectal cancer?

Output: Poor condition at operation, as determined by physiologic POSSUM score, is a risk indicator for long-term overall survival in colorectal cancer patients.

Input: Consider Input: Context: The majority of patients with osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma are diagnosed before skeletal maturity. Paley's multiplier is used for height prediction in healthy children, and has been suggested as a method to make growth predictions for children with osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma when considering limb salvage options. To our knowledge, no evaluation of this method in this particular patient group has been performed, but a temporary growth deficit has been observed in children undergoing chemotherapy.", "We asked whether (1) Paley's formula reliably predicts growth in children who received polychemotherapy; (2) chemotherapy impairs growth velocity; and (3) final adult height is impaired in these patients.", "Retrospectively, data for 94 patients with osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma were retrieved from databases of two sarcoma centers. Onset before 14 years of age in girls and 16 years in boys and a minimum followup until 18 years were required (mean, 67 months; range, 31-124 months) criteria. Exclusion criteria were the intake of growth hormones or no chemotherapy. Thirty-three patients (35%) fulfilled all inclusion criteria. Predicted adult heights were compared with actual adult height. The development of a growth deficit was evaluated for 23 children (without chemotherapy for recurrence) using age- and gender-specific standard deviation scores for height (WHO Z-scores).", "Height prediction using Paley's method showed a high percentage of false predictions (outside 1 SD, 70%; outside 2 SD, 61%). On average, the mean total height of the patients was overestimated (2.3 cm). The median absolute error of prediction was 5.0 cm (range, -17 to 8). Patients with osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma showed a significant growth impairment during polychemotherapy. A catchup phase in growth before skeletal maturity was observed in patients with osteosarcoma but not with Ewing's sarcoma.\Question: Does paley 's multiplier method accurately predict adult height in children with bone sarcoma?

Output: Owing to its lack of reliability in this patient group, methods other than Paley's should be evaluated to predict adult height. Although limited by a small number of patients, our study results indicate a decreased adult height in patients with bone sarcoma after chemotherapy.

Input: Consider Input: Context: Cytokines and chemokines potentially modulate postoperative immune response. Association of circulating cytokines and chemokines with postoperative infectious complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy was evaluated.', 'Plasma concentrations of interleukin (IL) 6, IL-10, IL-8, macrophage chemoattractant protein 1, heat shock protein 70, and amylase, as well as amylase levels in peritoneal exudative fluid, were measured perioperatively in 60 consecutive patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy.', 'Of the 60 patients, 27 patients had surgical site infection (SSI), including peritoneal infection in all, intra-abdominal abscess in 14, and radiologically visualized pancreatic leakage in 6. Postoperative plasma levels of IL-6, IL-8, and macrophage chemoattractant protein 1, as well as peritoneal amylase levels, were significantly higher in patients with SSI than in those without SSI (P < 0.05). Nonpancreatic cancer as a histopathologic diagnosis, high pancreatic juice flow, and increased levels of IL-6 and IL-8 were independently associated with SSI (P < 0.05) in multiple logistic regression analysis. Plasma levels of IL-6 and IL-10 among patients with SSI were significantly higher in those with pancreatic leakage than in those without leakage.\Question: Are increased plasma levels of IL-6 and IL-8 associated with surgical site infection after pancreaticoduodenectomy?
Output: These results suggest that, in addition to pancreatic exocrine function, IL-6 and IL-8 are associated with postoperative SSI, including pancreatic leakage after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
