Effects of preoperative pulmonary function on short-term outcomes and overall survival after video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preoperative pulmonary function tests are a necessary preoperative assessment tool for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients awaiting surgery. We studied the effects of preoperative pulmonary function on short-term outcomes and overall survival (OS).

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was undertaken with adult NSCLC patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy between May 2016 and April 2017. The primary exposure variables were the percentage of predicted peak expiratory flow (PEF%), the percentage of predicted forced vital capacity (FVC%), and the percentage of predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s. The observation outcomes were postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), acute kidney injury (AKI), in-hospital mortality,
