Objective To analyze the surgical treatment characteristics for newly diagnosed colorectal cancer (CRC) patients based on hospital registry data in Sichuan Province. Methods Based on the hospitalization records of CRC inpatients from all secondary and tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province (2015–2024), the newly diagnosed CRC patients admitted during 2020–2023 were identified and the rates of primary lesion resection, neostomy, and stoma reversal procedures were evaluated. Then stratified analyses by gender, age, tumor location, and organ metastasis at diagnosis were analyzed. The statistical significance was defined as one-sided test with α=0.025. Results A total of 118 787 newly diagnosed CRC inpatients in Sichuan Province (2020–2023) were enrolled, the cohort had a mean age of (66.4±12.3) years, with 70 756 (59.6%) males, 64 646 (54.4%) rectal cancer cases, and 16 418 (13.8%) cases exhibiting synchronous organ metastasis at diagnosis. Within one year post-diagnosis, 84 634 (71.2%) patients underwent primary lesion resection and 26 514 (22.3%) received neostomy procedures, both demonstrating significantly increasing annual trends (χ2trend=72.2, P<0.001; χ2trend=70.6, P<0.001) while showing inverse correlations with advancing age (χ2trend=4 096.0, P<0.001; χ2trend=56.3, P<0.001). Stratified analyses revealed significantly lower primary lesion resection rates among females vs. males, rectal cancer vs. colon cancer, and organ metastasis vs. non-organ metastasis patients (all P<0.001), whereas neostomy rates were higher in females and rectal cancer patients but lower in organ metastasis cases (all P<0.001). Among 26 514 neostomy patients, 11 288 (42.6%) underwent stoma reversal after a median (interquartile range) interval of 123 (95, 188) d, with 8 187 reversals (72.5%) within 6 months, 2 700 (23.9%) during 6–12 months, and 401 (3.6%) after 12 months. Reversal rates increased temporally (χ2trend=80.0, P<0.001) but decreased with advancing age (χ2trend=1 072.3, P<0.001). Conclusion In Sichuan Province, rising trends are observed in the hospitalization burdern of newly diagnosed CRC and rates of primary lesion resection, neostomy, and reversal.
