Assessing the Likelihood of Gastrointestinal Complications in Patients with Lymphoma: A Propensity Score Analysis

1

Primary gastrointestinal lymphoma, though less common, accounts for about 1% of all gastrointestinal tumors, with the stomach being the most affected organ.
2

Aggressive gastrointestinal lymphomas are associated with severe complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding, obstruction, and perforation, particularly after chemotherapy.
3

In a study of 148 patients, 56.8% experienced gastrointestinal complications, significantly impacting their quality of life and clinical outcomes.
4

Identifying risk factors for gastrointestinal complications is essential for early intervention and improving prognosis in patients with aggressive gastrointestinal lymphoma.
5

The study aimed to systematically analyze primary gastrointestinal lymphoma cases to provide evidence-based support for predicting and managing gastrointestinal complications.
