Charlson comorbidity index as a predictor of short-term outcomes after pulmonary resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The objective of this retrospective study is to evaluate the impact of the CCI on short-term outcomes in pulmonary resection.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 1,309 patients who underwent pulmonary surgery consecutively in our hospital.

Results

All patients were divided into complication group and non-complication group. CCI (P=0.012), blood loss (P=0.015) and type of surgery (P<0.001) were an independent risk factors for complications in multivariate analysis. Assuming a threshold of 3 for defining poor outcomes for pulmonary resection, the sensitivity and specificity were 87.9% and 44.2%, respectively. The area under the curve for CCI was 0.711 (P<0.001). There were 918 (70.1%) patients in the CCI ≤3 group and 391 (29.9%) patients in the CCI ≤3 group.
