These findings suggest that while anastomotic leakage alone does not substantially affect long-term survival, its combination with ICU readmission is borderline significant for impaired overall survival ( p = 0.064, HR 1.9, 95% CI 0.96–3.75) (Table S3a).

borderline significancep = 0.08so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

However, a borderline significance was observed ( p = 0.08) when readmitted to ICU suggesting that the impact of PC on survival is not uniform but depends on their severity and the overall postoperative course.
