Perioperative fluid balance and 30-day unplanned readmission after lung cancer surgery: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Perioperative positive fluid balance (FB) is associated with increased complications after lung resection surgery. However, its impact on the 30-day unplanned readmission rate is unclear. This study aimed to determine whether perioperative FB status during and up to 24 hours after lung resection surgery is associated with the 30-day unplanned readmission rate.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study examined adult patients aged 19 years or older who underwent lung cancer surgery at a single tertiary academic hospital between January 2005 and February 2018. Weight-based cumulative FB (%) was calculated during and up to 24 hours after surgery and was categorized as positive (≥5%), normal (0-5%), or negative (<0%). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression an
