Development and internal validation of a nomogram to predict postoperative atrial fibrillation in elderly patients with lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The elderly are at high risk of developing postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after lung resection, which is more likely to trigger serious complications such as heart failure, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, and ischemic stroke, seriously affecting the recovery and prognosis of patients. This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting POAF in elderly lung cancer patients.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 960 elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery at Zhoushan Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023. Patients were divided into the POAF group and the non-POAF group. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) identified univariate and multivariate logistic regres
