Effect of laterality on the postoperative survival of non-small cell lung cancer patients undergoing pneumonectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pneumonectomy is one of the important surgical methods for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study evaluated the effects of laterality on the short- and long-term survival of NSCLC patients undergoing pneumonectomy.

Methods

We reviewed the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database to retrieve the data of patients who underwent pneumonectomy for stage I-III NSCLC from 2004 to 2015. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reduce the selection bias. Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between laterality and mortality at 3, 6, and 9 months. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to further assess the effect of laterality on overall survival (OS).

Results

A total of 4,763 patients met the enrollment criteria [right-sided, 1,988
