Timing effects of short-term smoking cessation on lung cancer postoperative complications: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preoperative smoking cessation may reduce postoperative complications in patients with lung cancer. However, the optimal duration of short-term preoperative smoking cessation remains unclear.

Three databases, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, were searched for studies published up to April 5, 2024. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to assess the risk of bias.

Results

Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria and included a total of
