Significance of Preoperative Pulmonary Function on Short- and Long-Term Outcomes Following Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preoperative pulmonary function assessment is useful for selecting surgical candidates and operative methods and assessing the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between preoperative pulmonary function and short- and long-term outcomes in patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Methods

Of the 1040 patients with gastric cancer (stages I-III) who had undergone R0 gastrectomy between 2009 and 2020, 750 who underwent preoperative spirometry were included. Restrictive ventilatory impairment was defined as a vital capacity of the predicted value (%VC) < 80%, while obstructive ventilatory impairment was defined as forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1%) < 70%. Postoperative complica
