The Change of Laboratory Tests Could Be Predictive Factors for Infection after McKeown Esophagogastrectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To analyze whether the change of laboratory tests (postoperative day 1 (POD1) minus pre-operation) could be predictive factors for postoperative infection in patients who have undergone McKeown esophagogastrectomy.

Methods

We retrospectively investigated the clinical data of 358 patients who have undergone McKeown esophagogastrectomy, and divided them into infection and noninfection groups. SPSS 22.0 software was performed for data analysis.

Results

In the two groups, smoking status (66.7% vs. 42.3%; P = 0.014), male gender (86.1% vs. 72.0%; P < 0.001), hoarseness (23.6% vs. 8.7%; P < 0.001), poor coughing ability (51.4% vs. 9.1%; P < 0.001), the change of WBC count (5.59 ± 4.75 × 10⁹/L vs. 4.51 ± 4.11 × 10⁹/L;
