Core Tip	Lymph node metastasis and delayed recovery of postoperative intestinal function are critical factors influencing short-term recovery and long-term prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer. Using outcome-based grouping, we constructed and validated multivariate logistic regression models that integrated readily available perioperative clinical, pathological, and laboratory variables. The models identified key independent risk factors including preoperative hypoalbuminemia, intraoperative blood loss, tumor stage, tumor differentiation, lymph node yield, and fibrinogen levels. With good discrimination and clinical benefit demonstrated by receiver operating characteristic and decision curve analyses, these models provide early risk stratification, individualized perioperative management, and optimized clinical decision-making in colorectal cancer surgery.
