In total, 211 patients from the LOGICA RCT (105 open vs 106 laparoscopic) and 4131 patients from the DUCA data set (1884 open vs 2247 laparoscopic) were included. In the LOGICA RCT, patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy had a significantly higher body mass index and more often did not receive neoadjuvant therapy when compared with open gastrectomy. At a national level, the DUCA database showed laparoscopic gastrectomy was used more often in female patients, higher American Society of Anesthesiologist-score patients, and M0 patients when compared with open surgery. Further significant differences were seen in age, Charlson Comorbidity Index, tumor location, cT, cN, neoadjuvant therapy, and year of surgery (Table Patient, Tumor, and Treatment Characteristics of Patients That Underwent Laparoscopic Versus Open Gastrectomy in the LOGICA and DUCA Data SetsBold values are statistically significant.n (%); Median (IQR).Pearson χOverall complication and 30-day/in-hospital mortality rates after minimally invasive (MI) versus open gastrectomy, as well as the percentage of minimally invasive resections of all gastrectomies.
