Risk factor analysis and predictive model development for air leakage after thoracoscopic pulmonary wedge resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The rate of postoperative complications in wedge resection is low because it does not involve major structures. However, postoperative air leakage (AL) is common. This research sought to determine the risk factors associated with AL following thoracoscopic pulmonary wedge resection and to create a predictive model for identifying patients suitable for tubeless procedures.

Methods

This study included individuals who underwent thoracoscopic pulmonary wedge resection at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2015 to December 2020. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify independent risk factors and construct relevant models. Concurrent data from two other centers were collected as validation sets for external
