  • 2

    Among 320 patients, 19.4% experienced a decline in ADL after discharge, highlighting the need for effective transitional care.

  • 3

    Multivariate analysis identified height and retinol-binding protein as protective factors, while mean red blood cell volume and triglycerides were risk factors.

  • 4

    A prediction model using five clinical indicators demonstrated good discrimination and calibration for identifying high-risk patients.

  • 5

    The findings support early screening and tailored transitional care to improve postoperative recovery in colorectal cancer patients.
