Risk factors of prolonged ventilation after thymectomy in thymoma myasthenia gravis patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To explore the risk factors for prolonged ventilation after thymectomy in patients with thymoma associated with myasthenia gravis (TAMG).

Methods

We reviewed the records of 112 patients with TAMG after thymectomy between January 2010 and December 2019 in Peking University People's Hospital. Demographic, pathological, preoperative data and the Anesthesia, surgery details were assessed with multivariable logistic regression analysis to predict the risk of prolonged ventilation after thymectomy. A nomogram to predict the probability of post-thymectomy ventilation was constructed with R software. Discrimination and calibration were employed to evaluate the performance of the nomogram.

Results

By multivariate analysis, male, low vital capacity (VC), Osserman cla
