Pneumonectomy for primary lung cancer: contemporary outcomes, risk factors and model validation.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Despite the increased rate of adverse outcomes compared to lobectomy, for selected patients with lung cancer, pneumonectomy is considered the optimal treatment option. The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for mortality in patients undergoing pneumonectomy for primary lung cancer.

Methods

Data from all patients undergoing pneumonectomy for primary lung cancer at 2 large thoracic surgical centres between 2012 and 2018 were analysed. Multivariable logistic and Cox regression analyses were used to identify risk factors associated with 90-day and 1-year mortality and reduced long-term survival, respectively.

Results

The study included 256 patients. The mean age was 65.2 (standard deviation 9.4) years. In-hospital, 90-day and 1-year mortality
