Abstract: The general objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the CAR index as an early predictor of anastomotic dehiscence in patients undergoing emergency gastrointestinal anastomosis Materials and Methods A total of 38 patients submitted to gastrointestinal anastomosis were chosen for this study, under the modality of a descriptive, prospective and longitudinal clinical-epidemiological research. The results of the 38 patients, only 4 developed anastomotic dehiscence with an incidence of 10.53% (4/38), diagnosed most frequently on the 7th postoperative day, with a CAR efficiency of 30.77%, with a sensitivity of 100%, specificity 73.53%, a positive predictive value of 30.77% and a negative predictive value of 100%. In conclusion, that CAR favors early prediction of anastomotic dehiscence given its high percentage of sensitivity; however, it is worthwhile to continue this line of research considering a much larger sample size.
