Butyrylcholinesterase levels as a predictive factor of septic complications development in the postoperative period of colorectal patients: Univariate analysis and predictive modeling

Abstract

Introduction: Despite the multiple associations with several inflammatory states, Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is not yet studied in the surgical population. The scope of our study is to examine the association between serum BChE levels and the development of postoperative septic complications.
