Objective To analyze the relation between the marital status of patients with colorectal cancer and surgical treatment options decision-making and outcomes in the current version of the Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA). Methods The version of DACCA selected for this analysis was updated on August 31, 2022. The patients were enrolled according to the established screening criteria and then assigned to 3 groups: the unmarried, married, and divorced or widowed groups. The differences in the surgical modality decisions, surgical quality, and surgical complications among these 3 groups were analyzed. Results A total of 7 634 data that met the screened criteria were enrolled. It was found that the difference in the composition of the willingness to conserve anus among patients with different marital status was statistically significant (χ2=28.635, P<0.001), reflecting that the willingness to conserve anus was “strong” among unmarried and married patients, and the overall willingness to conserve anus was relatively more positive among unmarried patients, while the willingness to conserve anus was “rational” among widowed or divorced patients. No statistical differences were found in the surgical modality decisions (rectal surgery: χ2=0.493, P=0.782; colon surgery: χ2=0.213, P=0.899), including the presence of prophylactic stoma for the patient with radical resection (χ2=5.156, P=0.076), surgical quality (H=3.452, P=0.178), presence of surgical in-hospital complications (χ2=1.663, P=0.435), and the presence of short-term surgical complications (χ2=1.695, P=0.428). Conclusions Analysis of the data in DACCA reveals that there is difference in willingness to preserve anus among colorectal cancer patients with different marital status. Married and unmarried patients have stronger anal preservation intention, suggesting that clinical care and family support should be strengthened during clinical diagnosis and treatment.
