Risk factor analysis of postoperative cerebral infarction in thoracic surgery patients by propensity-score matching-a single institution retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative cerebral infarction (PCI) is serious complication for thoracic surgery patients, however, the risk factors still unclear. This study sought to investigate the incidence risk factors of postoperative cerebral infarction after thoracic surgery.

Methods

Patients who underwent thoracic surgery from 2011 to 2022 at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital were identified and followed-up for 30 days postoperatively to determine the primary outcome of PCI. Patients with PCI were identified as the PCI cohort, and those without PCI were identified as the non-PCI cohort. The clinical data of all the patients were collected. The Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test were used to analyze the baseline differences. Propensity-score matching (PSM) at a ratio of 1:4 was used to
