Postoperative outcomes in patients with COPD undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery: a propensity score-matched cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Given the nature and pathophysiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it is reasonable to hypothesize that concomitant COPD may adversely affect clinical outcomes, leading to higher incidence of respiratory infections, prolonged mechanical ventilation, and prolonged hospital stay. However, robust evidence to support this assumption remains limited. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on postoperative outcomes in adult patients undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD), including adult patients admitted to the ICU following elective non-cardiac surgery. Propensity score match
