The association of the advanced lung cancer inflammation index with postoperative complications in patients undergoing lung resection for bronchiectasis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with bronchiectasis often experience systemic inflammation and malnutrition, which adversely affect their prognosis. The advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) has recently emerged as a novel biomarker reflecting systemic inflammation and nutritional status. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of ALI for postoperative complications in patients with bronchiectasis undergoing localized surgical resection.

Methods

This retrospective study included 191 patients with localized bronchiectasis treated at our center between January 2013 and November 2023. The optimal cutoff value for ALI was determined using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify inde
