Reintubation After Lung Cancer Resection: Development and External Validation of a Predictive Score.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reintubation after lung cancer resection is an important quality metric because of increased disability, mortality and cost. However, no validated predictive instrument is in use to reduce reintubation after lung resection. This study aimed to create and validate the PRediction Of REintubation After Lung cancer resection (PROREAL) score.

Methods

The study analyzed lung resection cases from 2 university hospitals. The primary end point was reintubation within 7 days after surgery. Predictors were selected through backward stepwise logistic regression and bootstrap resampling. The investigators used reclassification and receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses to assess score performance and compare it with an established score for all surgical patient
