Background: Numerous studies have developed or validated prediction models to estimate the likelihood of postoperative pneumonia (POP) in esophageal cancer (EC) patients. The quality of these models and the evaluation of their applicability to clinical practice and future research remains unknown. This study systematically evaluated the risk of bias and applicability of risk prediction models for developing POP in patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), WanFang Database and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database were searched from inception to March 12, 2024. Two investigators independently screened the literature and extracted data. The Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST) checklist was employed to evaluate both the risk of bias and applicability. Result: A total of 14 studies involving 23 models were included. These studies were mainly published between 2014 and 2023. The applicability of all studies was good. However, all studies exhibited a high risk of bias, primarily attributed to inappropriate data sources, insufficient sample size, irrational treatment of variables and missing data, and lack of model validation. The incidence of POP in patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery ranged from 14.60% to 39.26%. The most frequently used predictors were smoking, age, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD), diabetes mellitus, and methods of thoracotomy. Inter-model discrimination ranged from 0.627 to 0.850, sensitivity ranged between 60.7% and 84.0%, and specificity ranged from 59.1% to 83.9%. Conclusion: In all included studies, good discrimination was reported for risk prediction models for POP in patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery, indicating stable model performance. However, according to the PROBAST checklist, all studies had a high risk of bias. Future studies should use the predictive model assessment tool to improve study design and develop new models with larger samples and multicenter external validation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of preoperative inflammatory indices and postoperative pneumonia (POP) on postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods: All consecutive patients who underwent pulmonary resection at our hospital (January 2016-October 2019) were enrolled. Preoperative inflammatory indices, demographic data, surgical details, and postoperative conditions were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses of risk factors associated with POAF were also conducted. Results: Among the 382 patients included in the study, 32 (8.38%) developed POAF. Compared to non-POAF patients, POAF patients had greater incidence of POP (P = 0.09). Approximately 31 patients (96.9%) developed atrial fibrillation within three days after surgery. The POAF group had a significantly greater mean age (68.94 years) than did the non-POAF group (63 years) (P = 0.002). Additionally, compared to non-POAF patients, POAF patients exhibited an increased number of resected mediastinal lymph nodes (P < 0.001) and mediastinal lymph node stations (P < 0.001).The POAF group also had a greater intraoperative blood volume (P = 0.006), longer surgical duration (P = 0.022), and greater drainage volume (P = 0.003). IA/B stage (P < 0.001) and IIIA/B stage(P < 0.001), and lobectomy resection (P = 0.008) and wedge resection (P = 0.023) were also associated with POAF. Compared to those in the non-POAF group, the POAF group had longer postoperative hospital stays (10.54 days vs. 9 days; P = 0.001) and longer drainage times (7 days vs. 5 days; P = 0.004). Multivariate analysis revealed age, POP, and stage IIIA/B as independent influencing factors of POAF in NSCLC patients. Conclusion: Preoperative inflammatory indices were not significantly associated with POAF, but age, POP, and stage IIIA/B were identified as independent influencing factors. Advanced-stage NSCLC patients may have a greater susceptibility to POAF than early-stage patients, although further validation is needed. Additionally, POAF was linked to a longer postoperative hospital stay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dental and oral management (DOM) is a long-established treatment modality. This scoping review aimed to narratively review previous studies, examine the effects of perioperative DOM, and identify the available evidence. A literature search was conducted using the PubMed electronic database for studies published between January 1, 2000, and March 8, 2022. The search yielded 43 studies, most of which were published in the last 10 years. The results of this study confirmed that improved perioperative oral hygiene is effective in preventing postoperative pneumonia. Our results also suggested that preoperative DOM is effective in preventing postoperative surgical site infections. Perioperative DOM is effective in reducing the incidence of postoperative pneumonia, SSI, and postsurgical complications. Further studies are needed to elucidate the various mechanism of DOM and to examine efficient intervention methods and timing.

Abstract Background We aimed to determine whether systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) combined with prealbumin can provide better predictive power for postoperative pneumonia in patients undergoing lung resection surgery. Methods We identified eligible patients undergoing lung resection surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from March 2021 to March 2022. Demographic characteristics, clinical data, and laboratory information were collected and reviewed from the electronic medical records of the patients. To test the effect of the combined detection of SII and prealbumin, we made an equation using logistic regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was plotted to evaluate the predictive powers, sensitivity, and specificity of prealbumin, SII, and SII combined with prealbumin. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to determine the clinical validity and net benefit of different methods of detection. Results Totally 386 eligible patients were included with a median age of 62.0 years (IQR: 55.0, 68.0), and 57 (14.8%) patients presented with postoperative pneumonia within 7 days after surgery. The multivariate regression analysis showed that preoperative SII as continuous variable was associated with an increased risk of postoperative pneumonia (OR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.19–2.83, P = 0.011), whereas the prealbumin as continuous variable remained as an independent protective predictor of postoperative pneumonia in the adjusted analysis (OR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.37–0.89, P = 0.023). Compared to SII or prealbumin, the combined detection of preoperative SII and prealbumin showed a higher predictive power with area under curve of 0.79 (95% CI: 0.71–0.86, P

Abstract Background This study aims to implement a validated prediction model and application medium for postoperative pneumonia (POP) in elderly patients with hip fractures in order to facilitate individualized intervention by clinicians. Methods Employing clinical data from elderly patients with hip fractures, we derived and externally validated machine learning models for predicting POP. Model derivation utilized a registry from Nanjing First Hospital, and external validation was performed using data from patients at the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. The derivation cohort was divided into the training set and the testing set. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and multivariable logistic regression were used for feature screening. We compared the performance of models to select the optimized model and introduced SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to interpret the model. Results The derivation and validation cohorts comprised 498 and 124 patients, with 14.3% and 10.5% POP rates, respectively. Among these models, Categorical boosting (Catboost) demonstrated superior discrimination ability. AUROC was 0.895 (95%CI: 0.841–0.949) and 0.835 (95%CI: 0.740–0.930) on the training and testing sets, respectively. At external validation, the AUROC amounted to 0.894 (95% CI: 0.821–0.966). The SHAP method showed that CRP, the modified five-item frailty index (mFI-5), and ASA body status were among the top three important predicators of POP. Conclusion Our model’s good early prediction ability, combined with the implementation of a network risk calculator based on the Catboost model, was anticipated to effectively distinguish high-risk POP groups, facilitating timely intervention.

Abstract Background Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is the most prevalent of all nosocomial infections in patients who underwent cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to identify independent risk factors for pneumonia after cardiac surgery, from which we constructed a nomogram for prediction. Methods The clinical data of patients admitted to the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from October 2020 to September 2021 who underwent cardiac surgery were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were divided into two groups according to whether they had POP: POP group (n=105) and non-POP group (n=1083). Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative indicators were collected and analyzed. Logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors for POP in patients who underwent cardiac surgery. We constructed a nomogram based on these independent risk factors. Model discrimination was assessed via area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), and calibration was assessed via calibration plot. Results A total of 105 events occurred in the 1188 cases. Age (>55 years) (OR: 1.83, P=0.0225), preoperative malnutrition (OR: 3.71, P 135 min (OR: 2.80, P 20 hours (OR: 3.11, P

Abstract Background Postoperative pneumonia is one of the common complications after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. There is no related study on the effect of lung isolation with different airway devices on postoperative pneumonia. Therefore, in this study, the propensity score matching method was used to retrospectively explore the effects of different lung isolation methods on postoperative pneumonia in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Methods This is A single-center, retrospective, propensity score-matched study. The information of patients who underwent VATS in Weifang People 's Hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 was retrospectively included. The patients were divided into three groups according to the airway device used in thoracoscopic surgery: laryngeal mask combined with bronchial blocker group (LM + BB group), tracheal tube combined with bronchial blocker group (TT + BB group) and double-lumen endobronchial tube group (DLT group). The main outcome was the incidence of pneumonia within 7 days after surgery; the secondary outcome were hospitalization time and hospitalization expenses. Patients in the three groups were matched using propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Results After propensity score matching analysis, there was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative pneumonia and hospitalization time among the three groups (P > 0.05), but there was significant difference in hospitalization expenses among the three groups (P

The multivariate regression analysis showed that preoperative SII as continuous variable was associated with an increased risk of postoperative pneumonia (OR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.19–2.83, P = 0.011), whereas the prealbumin as continuous variable remained as an independent protective predictor of postoperative pneumonia in the adjusted analysis (OR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.37–0.89, P = 0.023). Compared to SII or prealbumin, the combined detection of preoperative SII and prealbumin showed a higher predictive power with area under curve of 0.79 (95% CI: 0.71–0.86, P < 0.05 for all). Additionally, DCA indicated that the combined detection was superior over preoperative SII or prealbumin alone in clinical validity and net benefit. Conclusion: Both preoperative SII and prealbumin are independent influencing factors for postoperative pneumonia after lung resection surgery. The combined detection of preoperative SII and prealbumin can significantly improve prediction capability to identify potential postoperative pneumonia-susceptible patients, facilitating early interventions to improve postoperative quality of life for surgical lung resection patients.

Age (>55 years) (OR: 1.83, P=0.0225), preoperative malnutrition (OR: 3.71, P<0.0001), diabetes mellitus(OR: 2.33, P=0.0036), CPB time (Cardiopulmonary Bypass Time) > 135 min (OR: 2.80, P<0.0001), moderate to severe ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome)(OR: 1.79, P=0.0148), use of ECMO or IABP or CRRT (ECMO: Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation; IABP: Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump; CRRT: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy)(OR: 2.60, P=0.0057) and MV(Mechanical Ventilation)> 20 hours (OR: 3.11, P<0.0001) were independent risk factors for POP. Based on those independent risk factors, we constructed a simple nomogram with an AUC of 0.82. Calibration plots showed good agreement between predicted probabilities and actual probabilities. Conclusion: We constructed a facile nomogram for predicting pneumonia after cardiac surgery with good discrimination and calibration. The model has excellent clinical applicability and can be used to identify and adjust modifiable risk factors to reduce the incidence of POP as well as patient mortality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is one of the primary complications after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and is associated with postoperative mortality, extended hospital stay, and increased medical fee. Early identification of pneumonia and more aggressive treatment can improve patient outcomes. We aimed to develop a model to predict POP in aSAH patients using machine learning (ML) methods. Methods: This internal cohort study included 706 patients with aSAH undergoing intracranial aneurysm embolization or aneurysm clipping. The cohort was randomly split into a train set (80%) and a testing set (20%). Perioperative information was collected from participants to establish 6 machine learning models for predicting POP after surgical treatment. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), precision-recall curve were used to assess the accuracy, discriminative power, and clinical validity of the predictions. The final model was validated using an external validation set of 97 samples from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Results: In this study, 15.01% of patients in the training set and 12.06% in the testing set with POP after underwent surgery. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that mechanical ventilation time (MVT), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Smoking history, albumin level, neutrophil-to-albumin Ratio (NAR), c-reactive protein (CRP)-to-albumin ratio (CAR) were independent predictors of POP. The logistic regression (LR) model presented significantly better predictive performance (AUC: 0.91) than other models and also performed well in the external validation set (AUC: 0.89). Conclusion: A machine learning model for predicting POP in aSAH patients was successfully developed using a machine learning algorithm based on six perioperative variables, which could guide high-risk POP patients to take appropriate preventive measures.

Abstract Purposes Subtotal esophagectomy for esophageal cancer (EC) is associated with high morbidity rates. Tight glycemic control using an artificial pancreas (AP) is one of the promising strategies to reduce postoperative inflammation and morbidities. However, the effects of tight glycemic control using AP in patients with EC are yet to be fully elucidated. Method This study reviewed 96 patients with EC who underwent subtotal esophagectomy. The postoperative inflammation parameters and morbidity rates were compared between patients who used the AP (n = 27) or not (control group, n = 69). AP is a closed-loop system that comprises a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin pump. Results The numbers of white blood cells (WBC) and Neutrophils (Neut) were noted to be lower in the AP group than in the control group, but with no significant difference. The ratio in which the number of WBC, Neut, and CRP on each postoperative day (POD) was divided by those tested preoperatively was used to standardize the results. The ratio of WBC and Neut on 1POD was significantly lower in the AP group than in the control group. The rate of surgical site infection was lower in the AP group than in the control group. Conclusion AP significantly decreased WBC and Neut on 1POD; this suggests the beneficial effects of AP in alleviating postoperative inflammation.

Abstract Background Esophagectomy is a high-risk procedure that can involve serious postoperative complications. There has been an increase in the number of minimally invasive esophagectomies (MIEs) being performed. However, the relationship between intraoperative management and postoperative complications in MIE remains unclear. Methods After the institutional review board approval, we enrolled 300 patients who underwent MIE at Tohoku University Hospital between April 2016 and March 2021. The relationships among patient characteristics, intraoperative and perioperative factors, and postoperative complications were retrospectively analyzed. The primary outcome was the relationship between intraoperative fluid volume and anastomotic leakage, and the secondary outcomes included the associations between other perioperative factors and postoperative complications. Results Among 300 patients, 28 were excluded because of missing data; accordingly, 272 patients were included in the final analysis. The median [interquartile range] operative duration was 599 [545–682] minutes; total intraoperative infusion volume was 3,747 [3,038–4,399] mL; total infusion volume per body weight per hour was 5.48 [4.42–6.73] mL/kg/h; and fluid balance was + 2,648 [2,015–3,263] mL. The postoperative complications included anastomotic leakage in 68 (25%) patients, recurrent nerve palsy in 91 (33%) patients, pneumonia in 62 (23%) patients, cardiac arrhythmia in 13 (5%) patients, acute kidney injury in 5 (2%) patients, and heart failure in 5 (2%) patients. The Cochrane-Armitage trend test indicated significantly increased anastomotic leakage among patients with a relatively high total infusion volume (P = 0.0085). Moreover, anastomotic leakage was associated with male sex but not with peak serum lactate levels. Patients with a longer anesthesia duration or recurrent nerve palsy had a significantly higher incidence of postoperative pneumonia than those without. Further, the incidence of postoperative pneumonia was not associated with the operative duration, total infusion volume, or fluid balance. The operative duration and blood loss were related to the total infusion volume. Acute kidney injury was not associated with the total infusion volume or serum lactate levels. Conclusions Among patients who underwent MIE, the total infusion volume was positively correlated with the incidence of anastomotic leakage. Further, postoperative pneumonia was associated with recurrent nerve palsy but not total infusion volume or fluid balance.

Purposes: Subtotal esophagectomy for esophageal cancer (EC) is associated with high morbidity rates. Tight glycemic control using an artificial pancreas (AP) is one of the promising strategies to reduce postoperative inflammation and morbidities. However, the effects of tight glycemic control using AP in patients with EC are yet to be fully elucidated. Method: This study reviewed 96 patients with EC who underwent subtotal esophagectomy. The postoperative inflammation parameters and morbidity rates were compared between patients who used the AP (n = 27) or not (control group, n = 69). AP is a closed-loop system that comprises a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin pump. Results: The numbers of white blood cells (WBC) and Neutrophils (Neut) were noted to be lower in the AP group than in the control group, but with no significant difference. The ratio in which the number of WBC, Neut, and CRP on each postoperative day (POD) was divided by those tested preoperatively was used to standardize the results. The ratio of WBC and Neut on 1POD was significantly lower in the AP group than in the control group. The rate of surgical site infection was lower in the AP group than in the control group. Conclusion: AP significantly decreased WBC and Neut on 1POD; this suggests the beneficial effects of AP in alleviating postoperative inflammation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Esophagectomy is a high-risk procedure that can involve serious postoperative complications. There has been an increase in the number of minimally invasive esophagectomies (MIEs) being performed. However, the relationship between intraoperative management and postoperative complications in MIE remains unclear. Methods: After the institutional review board approval, we enrolled 300 patients who underwent MIE at Tohoku University Hospital between April 2016 and March 2021. The relationships among patient characteristics, intraoperative and perioperative factors, and postoperative complications were retrospectively analyzed. The primary outcome was the relationship between intraoperative fluid volume and anastomotic leakage, and the secondary outcomes included the associations between other perioperative factors and postoperative complications. Results: Among 300 patients, 28 were excluded because of missing data; accordingly, 272 patients were included in the final analysis. The median [interquartile range] operative duration was 599 [545–682] minutes; total intraoperative infusion volume was 3,747 [3,038–4,399] mL; total infusion volume per body weight per hour was 5.48 [4.42–6.73] mL/kg/h; and fluid balance was + 2,648 [2,015–3,263] mL. The postoperative complications included anastomotic leakage in 68 (25%) patients, recurrent nerve palsy in 91 (33%) patients, pneumonia in 62 (23%) patients, cardiac arrhythmia in 13 (5%) patients, acute kidney injury in 5 (2%) patients, and heart failure in 5 (2%) patients. The Cochrane-Armitage trend test indicated significantly increased anastomotic leakage among patients with a relatively high total infusion volume (P = 0.0085). Moreover, anastomotic leakage was associated with male sex but not with peak serum lactate levels. Patients with a longer anesthesia duration or recurrent nerve palsy had a significantly higher incidence of postoperative pneumonia than those without. Further, the incidence of postoperative pneumonia was not associated with the operative duration, total infusion volume, or fluid balance. The operative duration and blood loss were related to the total infusion volume. Acute kidney injury was not associated with the total infusion volume or serum lactate levels. Conclusions: Among patients who underwent MIE, the total infusion volume was positively correlated with the incidence of anastomotic leakage. Further, postoperative pneumonia was associated with recurrent nerve palsy but not total infusion volume or fluid balance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: To develop and validate a risk prediction model by identifying the preoperative factors associated with an increased risk of pneumonia after spinal surgery. Methods: This study included patients with spinal disease from two hospitals between January 2021 and June 2023. The patients were divided into the training and validation sets, which were categorized as postoperative pneumonia (POP) or non-POP, respectively. This study identified the independent risk variables for POP using a multivariate logistic regression analysis. A nomogram prediction model was developed and validated using risk factors, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) to assess predictive performance. Results: Following exclusion, 2223 patients from Changzheng Hospital were enrolled in the training set and 357 patients from the No. 905 Hospital of PLA Navy were enrolled in the validation set. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that operation time, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade, smoking, non-wearing of medical masks, lack of preoperative respiratory training, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), underlying diseases, and spinal section were risk factors for POP development in patients with spinal diseases. The area under the ROC curve of the training set was 0.950, whereas that of the validation set was 0.879. The model calibration curves demonstrated good agreement, and the DCA indicated a high expected net benefit value. Conclusion: The POP risk prediction model has high accuracy and efficiency in predicting POP in patients with spinal diseases. POP development is influenced by factors such as operation length, ASA grade, smoking, non-wearing of medical masks, lack of preoperative respiratory training, COPD, underlying diseases, and lumbar surgery.

Purpose: Investigate the association between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) about the presence of postoperative pneumonia (POP) in geriatric patients with hip fractures. Compare the predictive value of these biomarkers for POP and assess their potential for early detection of POP. Methods: We retrospectively included elderly patients with hip fractures who underwent surgical treatment at our institution. POP was diagnosed according to the guidelines provided by the American Thoracic Society. We collected neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet counts upon admission to calculate the NLR, PLR, and SII. Receiver operating characteristic curves were utilized to establish the optimal cutoff values for each index. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and propensity score matching analysis were utilized to assess the independent association between each index and POP after adjusting for demographic, comorbidity, and surgery-related variables. Results: The study included a total of 1199 patients, among whom 111 cases (9.26%) developed POP. NLR exhibited the highest predictive value for POP in elderly patients with hip fractures compared to PLR and SII (AUC = 0.648, 95% CI 0.594–0.701). A high NLR, using the optimal cutoff value of 5.84, was significantly associated with an increased incidence of POP (OR = 2.24, 95% CI 1.43–3.51). This finding remained statistically significant even after propensity score matching (OR = 2.04, 95% CI 1.31–3.20). Conclusions: Among the three inflammatory/immune markers considered, the NLR demonstrates the highest reliability as a predictor for POP in elderly patients with hip fractures. Therefore, it serves as a valuable tool for early identification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Hip fracture (HF) is one of the most common fractures in the elderly and is significantly associated with high mortality and unfavorable prognosis. Postoperative pneumonia (POP), the most common postoperative complication of HF, can seriously affect patient prognosis and increase the burden on the healthcare system. The aim of this study was to develop machine learning models for identifying elderly patients at high risk of pneumonia after hip fracture surgery. Methods: From May 2016 to November 2022, patients admitted to a single central hospital for HF served as the study population. We extracted data that could be collected within 24 h of patient admission. The dataset was divided into training and validation sets according to 70:30. Based on the screened risk factors, prediction models were developed using seven machine learning algorithms, namely CART, GBM, KNN, LR, NNet, RF, and XGBoost, and their performance was evaluated. Results: Eight hundred five patients were finally included in the analysis and 75 (9.3%) patients suffered from POP.

BackgroundPostoperative pneumonia is a preventable complication associated with adverse outcomes, that greatly aggravates the medical expenses of patients. The goal of our study is to identify risk factors and outcomes of postoperative pneumonia.MethodsA matched 1:1 case-control study, including adult patients who underwent surgery between January 2020 and June 2020, was conducted in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University in China. Cases included all patients developing postoperative pneumonia within 30 days after surgery, defined using consensus criteria. Controls were selected randomly from the matched eligible population.ResultsOut of 17,190 surgical patients, 264 (1.54%) experienced postoperative pneumonia. Increased age, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emergency surgery, postoperative reduced albumin, prolonged ventilation, and longer duration of bed rest were identified as significant risk factors independently associated with postoperative pneumonia. Regarding prognostic implications, postoperative pneumonia was associated with longer length of hospital stay, higher ICU occupancy rate, higher unplanned re-operation rate, and higher in-hospital mortality rate. Postoperative pneumonia was most commonly caused by Gram-negative pathogens, and multidrug resistant bacteria accounted for approximately 16.99% of cases.ConclusionsPostoperative pneumonia is associated with severe clinical outcomes. We identified six independent risk factors that can aid in risk stratification and management of patients at risk of postoperative pneumonia, and the distribution of causative pathogens can also help in the implementation of effective interventions.Clinical trial registrationwww.chictr.org.cn, identifier: chiCTR2100045986.

Background: Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is a common complication after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) associated with increased mortality rates, prolonged hospitalization, and high medical costs. It is currently understood that identifying pneumonia early and implementing aggressive treatment can significantly improve patients' outcomes. The primary objective of this study was to explore risk factors and develop a logistic regression model that assesses the risks of POP. Methods: An internal cohort of 613 inpatients with aSAH who underwent surgery at the Neurosurgical Department of First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University was retrospectively analyzed to develop a nomogram for predicting POP. We assessed the discriminative power, accuracy, and clinical validity of the predictions by using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), the calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). The final model was validated using an external validation set of 97 samples from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Results: Among patients in our internal cohort, 15.66% (n = 96/613) of patients had POP. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis identified the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), mechanical ventilation time (MVT), albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), smoking, and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) as potential predictors of POP. We then used multivariable logistic regression analysis to evaluate the effects of these predictors and create a final model. Eighty percentage of patients in the internal cohort were randomly assigned to the training set for model development, while the remaining 20% of patients were allocated to the internal validation set. The AUC values for the training, internal, and external validation sets were 0.914, 0.856, and 0.851, and the corresponding Brier scores were 0.084, 0.098, and 0.143, respectively. Conclusion: We found that GCS, MVT, albumin, CRP, smoking, and DCI are independent predictors for the development of POP in patients with aSAH. Overall, our nomogram represents a reliable and convenient approach to predict POP in the patient population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

INTRODUCTION Postoperative pneumonia is one of the most common and serious complications of surgery. Patients undergoing major pulmonary surgery for lung cancer are at high risk for postoperative pulmonary infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using preoperative neutrophilto- lymphocyte ratio (NLR), red cell distribution width (RDW), albumin level, and demographic and clinical characteristics to predict the risk of developing postoperative pneumonia in patients operated for non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS This study included 363 patients who underwent elective surgery for non-small cell lung cancer between January 2014 and December 2018. Patient data were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of postoperative pneumonia. RESULTS The mean age was higher (p=0.003) and the rate of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was statistically significantly higher in the postoperative pneumonia group (p=0.031). Preoperative RDW, NLR, and neutrophil values were statistically significantly higher in the postoperative pneumonia group than in the non-postoperative pneumonia group (p<0.05). Preoperative lymphocyte values were statistically significantly lower in the postoperative pneumonia group (p<0.05). Preoperative albumin level were statistically significantly higher in the non-postoperative pneumonia group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that these predictors are independent risk factors for postoperative pneumonia following lung cancer surgery. However, there is a need for large-scale studies to confirm our results and evaluate whether they can be used to identify high-risk patients for postoperative pneumonia prior to surgery.

Abstract Background Atelectasis may play a substantial role in the development of pneumonia. However, pneumonia has never been evaluated as an outcome of atelectasis in surgical patients. We aimed to determine whether atelectasis is related to an increased risk of postoperative pneumonia, intensive care unit (ICU) admission and hospital length of stay (LOS). Methods The electronic medical records of adult patients who underwent elective non-cardiothoracic surgery under general anesthesia between October 2019 and August 2020 were reviewed. They were divided into two groups: one who developed postoperative atelectasis (atelectasis group) and the other who did not (non-atelectasis group). The primary outcome was the incidence of pneumonia within 30 days after the surgery. The secondary outcomes were ICU admission rate and postoperative LOS. Results Patients in the atelectasis group were more likely to have risk factors for postoperative pneumonia including age, body mass index, a history of hypertension or diabetes mellitus and duration of surgery, compared with those in the non-atelectasis. Among 1,941 patients, 63 (3.2%) developed postoperative pneumonia; 5.1% in the atelectasis group and 2.8% in the non-atelectasis (P = 0.025). In multivariable analysis, atelectasis was associated with an increased risk of pneumonia (adjusted odds ratio, 2.33; 95% CI: 1.24 – 4.38; P = 0.008). Median postoperative LOS was significantly longer in the atelectasis group (7 [interquartile range: 5–10 days]) than in the non-atelectasis (6 [3–8] days) (P

Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is a common postoperative complication. Negative consequences associated with POP included prolonged hospital length of stay, more frequent intensive care unit (ICU) stays, and a higher rate of sepsis, readmission, and mortality. This meta‐analysis aimed to assess the incidence and risk factors associated with POP after hip fracture surgery in elderly patients. PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched (up to March 31, 2022). All studies on the risk factors for POP after hip fracture surgery in elderly patients, published in English, were reviewed. The qualities of the included studies were assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. Data were pooled, and a meta‐analysis was performed. Ten studies, including 12,084 geriatric patients undergoing hip fracture surgery, were included. Of these 12,084 patients, POP occurred in 809 patients. The results indicated that age (mean difference [MD] = 4.95, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.22–6.69), male (odds ratio [OR] = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.02–1.93), the American Society of Anaesthesiologists classification ≥3 (OR = 3.48, 95% CI: 1.87–6.47), dependent functional status (OR = 5.23, 95% CI: 2.18–12.54, P = 0.0002), smoking (OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.07–1.65), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR = 3.76, 95% CI: 2.07–6.81), diabetes mellitus (OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.01–1.40), coronary heart disease (OR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.23–2.46), arrhythmia (OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.01–2.14), cerebrovascular disease (OR = 1.88, 95% CI: 1.56–2.27), dementia (OR = 2.36, 95% CI: 1.04–5.36), chronic renal failure (OR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.29–2.67), hip arthroplasty (OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.08–1.56), delayed surgery (OR = 6.40, 95% CI: 3.00–13.68), preoperative creatinine (MD = 5.32, 95% CI: 0.55–10.08), and preoperative serum albumin (MD = −3.01, 95% CI: −4.21 – −1.80) were risk factors for POP. Related prophylactic measures should be provided in geriatric patients with the above‐mentioned risk factors to prevent POP after hip fracture surgery.

Abstract Background To investigate the correlation between the preoperative systemic immune‐inflammation index (pSII) and postoperative pneumonia (POP) in surgical non‐small cell lung cancer patients. Methods Patients who underwent lung cancer surgery at West China Hospital of Sichuan University were retrospectively included. The indicators were collected, including basic information of patients, surgery‐related variables and POP rate. The predictive value of the pSII in the occurrence of POP was analyzed. Results A total of 1486 patients (male: 748, 50.3%; female: 738, 49.7%; mean age: 58.2 ± 9.7 years; median age: 59 years old, interquartile range: 51–65 years old) were finally included in the study, of which 142 patients had POP with an incidence of 9.5% (142/1486), 9.2% (69/748) in males, and 9.9% (73/738) in females. The proportion of patients with diabetes in the pneumonia group was significantly higher than that in the nonpneumonia group (9.8%, 14/142 vs. 5.6%, 75/1344, p = 0.041).

- Abstract
Background: Postoperative outcomes for patients suffering from resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are related to sarcopenia. In patients with resectable ESCC, this study investigated the link between sarcopenia and postoperative pneumonia. Methods: The McKewon procedure was the only one used to treat resectable ESCC patients from January 2018 to December 2021 in this retrospective analysis. Sarcopenia was assessed using skeletal muscles at L3 and planning CT scans. It was defined when PMI was below 6.36 cm²/m² and 3.92 cm²/m² for men and women, separately. Analyses of multivariate and univariate logistic regression were applied for identifying the risk factors for postoperative pneumonia. Results: The study included 773 patients with resectable ESCC in total. Sarcopenia was an independent risk factor for postoperative pneumonia in individuals with resectable ESCC based on univariate and multivariate analysis (P < 0.05). The stratified analysis indicated that neither of the clinical outcomes in the logistic regression model were affected by gender, age, BMI, smoking, or prealbumin (P for interaction > 0.006). Conclusion: Following the McKewon procedure, patients with resectable ESCC who were sarcopenic had a higher postoperative pneumonia rate. To prevent the development of postoperative pneumonia during the perioperative period, it may be important to control the incidence of sarcopenia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Numerous studies report that perioperative oral care decreases the frequency of postoperative pneumonia or infection. However, no studies have analyzed the specific impact of oral infection sources on the postoperative course, and the criteria for preoperative dental care differ among institutions. This study aimed to analyze the factors and dental conditions present in patients with postoperative pneumonia and infection. Our results suggest that general factors related to postoperative pneumonia, including thoracic surgery, sex (male > female), the presence or absence of perioperative oral management, smoking history, and operation time, were identified, but there were no dental-related risk factors associated with it. However, the only general factor related to postoperative infectious complications was operation time, and the only dental-related risk factor was periodontal pocket (4 mm or higher). These results suggest that oral management immediately before surgery is sufficient to prevent postoperative pneumonia, but that moderate periodontal disease must be eliminated to prevent postoperative infectious complication, which requires periodontal treatment not only immediately before surgery, but also on a daily basis.

This study investigated the effect of postoperative deep sedation after oral cancer reconstructive surgery on the occurrence of early postoperative pneumonia and early postoperative delirium. We obtained medical records of 108 consecutive patients who underwent microvascular reconstructive surgery at Tsukuba University Hospital for oral cancer between January 2013 and December 2021. Forty-six of them woke soon after surgery. Ten of these forty-six patients were restless and required immediate sedation within 3 h after surgery. The comparison between sedation group and no sedation group revealed early postoperative pneumonia in the no sedation group; however, sedation was not related to early postoperative delirium. The preoperative albumin levels of patients with postoperative pneumonia were significantly different (p = 0.03) than those of patients without postoperative pneumonia. The performance status (p = 0.02), preoperative albumin level (p = 0.02), and age 75 years or older (p = 0.02) were significantly associated with postoperative delirium. Restless patients and those who could not be sedated experienced delirium and pneumonia. The risk of pneumonia was increased for patients who were difficult to sedate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is a common complication following lung cancer surgery and is associated with increased hospitalization costs and mortalities. We aimed to identify risk factors associated with POP and to develop a reliable predictive model. Patients who underwent lung cancer surgery between January 2015 and December 2021 in our hospital were enrolled. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis was used to select predictors of POP. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to construct the nomogram. Bootstrap resampling was conducted for internal validation. The performance of the model was evaluated by discrimination and calibration. A total of 5269 consecutive patients were enrolled. POP occurred in 1.7% of patients (92/5269). Five independent predictors were identified: age, predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s, predicted diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide, tuberculosis history, and surgery duration. The multivariable regression model showed good discrimination (C-index: 0.821, 95% confidence interval, 0.783-0.859), which was well validated by internal validation. The calibration curve illustrated good agreement between the predicted probability and observed probability of POP. Based on the easily available risk factors, our nomogram could predict the risk of POP with good discrimination and calibration. The model has good clinical practicability, enabling precise and targeted interventions to reduce the incidence of POP in high-risk patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract Background This study was designed to examine extubation time and to determine its association with postoperative pneumonia (POP) after meningioma resection. Methods We studied extubation time for 598 patients undergoing meningioma resection from January 2016 to December 2020. Extubation time was analysed as a categorical variable and patients were grouped into extubation within 21 minutes, 21–35 minutes and ≥ 35 minutes. Our primary outcome represented the incidence of POP. The association between extubation time and POP was assessed using multivariable logistic regression mixed-effects models which adjusted for confounders previously reported. Propensity score matching (PSM) was also performed at a ratio of 1:1 to minimize potential bias. Results Among 598 patients (mean age 56.1 ± 10.7 years, 75.8% female), the mean extubation time was 32.4 minutes. Extubation was performed within 21 minutes (32.4%), 21–35 minutes (31.2%) and ≥ 35 minutes (36.4%), respectively, after surgery. Older patients (mean age 57.8 years) were prone to delayed extubation (≥ 35 min) in the operating room, and more inclined to perioperative fluid infusion. When extubation time was analysed as a continuous variable, there was a U-shaped relation of extubation time with POP (P for nonlinearity = 0.044). After adjustment for confounders, extubation ≥35 minutes was associated with POP (odds ratio [OR], 2.73 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.36 ~ 5.47). Additionally, the results after PSM were consistent with those before matching. Conclusions Delayed extubation after meningioma resection is associated with increased pneumonia incidence. Therefore, extubation should be performed as early as safely possible in the operation room.

Background: Atelectasis may play a substantial role in the development of pneumonia. However, pneumonia has never been evaluated as an outcome of atelectasis in surgical patients. We aimed to determine whether atelectasis is related to an increased risk of postoperative pneumonia, intensive care unit (ICU) admission and hospital length of stay (LOS). Methods: The electronic medical records of adult patients who underwent elective non-cardiothoracic surgery under general anesthesia between October 2019 and August 2020 were reviewed. They were divided into two groups: one who developed postoperative atelectasis (atelectasis group) and the other who did not (non-atelectasis group). The primary outcome was the incidence of pneumonia within 30 days after the surgery. The secondary outcomes were ICU admission rate and postoperative LOS. Results: Patients in the atelectasis group were more likely to have risk factors for postoperative pneumonia including age, body mass index, a history of hypertension or diabetes mellitus and duration of surgery, compared with those in the non-atelectasis. Among 1,941 patients, 63 (3.2%) developed postoperative pneumonia; 5.1% in the atelectasis group and 2.8% in the non-atelectasis (P = 0.025). In multivariable analysis, atelectasis was associated with an increased risk of pneumonia (adjusted odds ratio, 2.33; 95% CI: 1.24 – 4.38; P = 0.008). Median postoperative LOS was significantly longer in the atelectasis group (7 [interquartile range: 5–10 days]) than in the non-atelectasis (6 [3–8] days) (P < 0.001). Adjusted median duration was also 2.19 days longer in the atelectasis group (β, 2.19; 95% CI: 0.821 – 2.834; P < 0.001). ICU admission rate was higher in the atelectasis group (12.1% vs. 6.5%; P < 0.001), but it did not differ between the groups after adjustment for confounders (adjusted odds ratio, 1.52; 95% CI: 0.88 – 2.62; P = 0.134). Conclusion: Among patients undergoing elective non-cardiothoracic surgery, patients with postoperative atelectasis were associated with a 2.33-fold higher incidence of pneumonia and a longer LOS than those without atelectasis. This finding alerts the need for careful management of perioperative atelectasis to prevent or reduce the adverse events including pneumonia and the burden of hospitalizations. Trial registration: None. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The prediction model of postoperative pneumonia (POP) after lung cancer surgery is still scarce. Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients with lung cancer who underwent surgery at The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from September 2019 to March 2020 was performed. All patients were randomly divided into two groups, training cohort and validation cohort at the ratio of 7:3. The nomogram was formulated based on the results of multivariable logistic regression analysis and clinically important factors associated with POP. Concordance index (Cindex), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the predictive performance of the nomogram. Results: A total of 1252 patients with lung cancer was enrolled, including 877 cases in the training cohort and 375 cases in the validation cohort. POP was found in 201 of 877 patients (22.9%) and 89 of 375 patients (23.7%) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The model consisted of six variables, including smoking, diabetes mellitus, history of preoperative chemotherapy, thoracotomy, ASA grade and surgery time. The C-index from AUC was 0.717 (95%CI:0.677-0.758) in the training cohort and 0.726 (95%CI:0.661-0.790) in the validation cohort. The calibration curves showed the model had good agreement. The result of DCA showed that the model had good clinical benefits. Conclusion: This proposed nomogram could predict the risk of POP in patients with lung cancer surgery in advance, which can help clinician make reasonable preventive and treatment measures.

Introduction: Postoperative pneumonia increases the risk of postsurgical mortality, making it a serious healthcare‐associated complication. Children with preoperative neuromuscular impairments have a higher risk of postoperative pneumonia. Obesity is also a risk factor for postoperative pulmonary complications, including pneumonia. Moreover, obesity is increasingly prevalent among children living with a neurological diagnosis. Whether obesity increases the risk of postoperative pneumonia among children with neurologic diseases remains largely unknown. Therefore, we assessed the risk of postoperative pneumonia among children with neurologic diagnoses based on their obesity status. Methods: We analyzed a retrospective cohort of children ≤18 years from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (2012–2019) database who underwent inpatient orthopedic surgery. We used Cox proportional regression model to estimate the hazard ratio for the association between neurologic disorders and postoperative pneumonia. In addition, we included an interaction term between body mass index and neurologic disorders to evaluate the moderating effect of obesity status and then performed stratified analyses to compare the magnitude of hazard ratios across body mass index subgroups. Results: A total of 60 745 children underwent inpatient orthopedic surgery during the study period, of whom 43.6% were healthy weight and 30.8% overweight/obese. The median age was 13 years (Interquartile range: 8–15). The incidence of postoperative pneumonia was higher among healthy weight patients with neurologic disorders than healthy weight patients without any neurologic disorders [Hazard ratio: 3.55 vs. 0.34]. Furthermore, the association between neurologic disorders and postoperative pneumonia was strongest among overweight patients than healthy weight or obese patients [Hazard ratio:11.88 vs. 9.45 vs. 4.40]. This observation was consistent across the various neurologic disorders analyzed. Conclusion: Childhood obesity buffered the association between neurologic disorders and postoperative pneumonia, consistent with an 'obesity paradox'. Further research exploring the underlying mechanisms for the obesity paradox in children with neurologic disorders is warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background: Postoperative pneumonia is a main adverse event that causes increased postoperative morbidity and prolonged length of hospital stay leading to high postoperative mortality. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a type of non-invasive ventilation for the delivery of a positive airway pressure during respiration. In this study, we evaluated the impact of postoperative prophylactic CPAP on prevention of pneumonia in patients after open visceral surgery. Methods: In this observational cohort study, we compared the rates of postoperative pneumonia in patients who underwent open major visceral surgery from January 2018 till August 2020 in the study and control group. The study group had postoperative prophylactic sessions of CPAP for 15 min, 3–5 times a day and a repeated spirometer training was also performed in the general surgical ward. The control group received only the postoperative spirometer training as a prophylactic measure against postoperative pneumonia. The chi-square test was used to measure the relationships between categorical variables, and a binary regression analysis determined the correlation between independent and dependent variables. Results: A total of 258 patients met the inclusion criteria who had open visceral surgery for various clinical illnesses. There were 146 men (56.6%) and 112 women with a mean age of 68.62 years. As many as 142 patients received prophylactic CPAP and they were grouped into the study group, whereas 116 patients without prophylactic CPAP were placed in the control group. Overall, the rate of postoperative pneumonia was significantly less in the study group (5.6% vs. 25.9% in the control group; p-value < 0.0001), which could be confirmed by the regression analysis (OR 0.118, CI 95% 0.047–0.295, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Postoperative intermittent CPAP after open visceral surgery can be performed in a general surgical ward. Our study showed a significant association with a low rate of postoperative pneumonia, especially in high-risk patients. This leads to a significantly shorter postoperative hospital stay especially in high-risk patients after upper gastrointestinal surgery. Trial registration number: DRKS00028988, 04.05.2022, retrospectively registered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is a common postoperative complication. Negative consequences associated with POP included prolonged hospital length of stay, more frequent intensive care unit (ICU) stays, and a higher rate of sepsis, readmission, and mortality. This meta‐analysis aimed to assess the incidence and risk factors associated with POP after hip fracture surgery in elderly patients. PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched (up to March 31, 2022). All studies on the risk factors for POP after hip fracture surgery in elderly patients, published in English, were reviewed. The qualities of the included studies were assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. Data were pooled, and a meta‐analysis was performed. Ten studies, including 12,084 geriatric patients undergoing hip fracture surgery, were included. Of these 12,084 patients, POP occurred in 809 patients. The results indicated that age (mean difference [MD] = 4.95, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.22–6.69), male (odds ratio [OR] = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.02–1.93), the American Society of Anaesthesiologists classification ≥3 (OR = 3.48, 95% CI: 1.87–6.47), dependent functional status (OR = 5.23, 95% CI: 2.18–12.54, P = 0.0002), smoking (OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.07–1.65), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR = 3.76, 95% CI: 2.07–6.81), diabetes mellitus (OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.01–1.40), coronary heart disease (OR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.23–2.46), arrhythmia (OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.01–2.14), cerebrovascular disease (OR = 1.88, 95% CI: 1.56–2.27), dementia (OR = 2.36, 95% CI: 1.04–5.36), chronic renal failure (OR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.29–2.67), hip arthroplasty (OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.08–1.56), delayed surgery (OR = 6.40, 95% CI: 3.00–13.68), preoperative creatinine (MD = 5.32, 95% CI: 0.55–10.08), and preoperative serum albumin (MD = −3.01, 95% CI: −4.21 – −1.80) were risk factors for POP. Related prophylactic measures should be provided in geriatric patients with the above‐mentioned risk factors to prevent POP after hip fracture surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: To investigate the correlation between the preoperative systemic immune‐inflammation index (pSII) and postoperative pneumonia (POP) in surgical non‐small cell lung cancer patients. Methods: Patients who underwent lung cancer surgery at West China Hospital of Sichuan University were retrospectively included. The indicators were collected, including basic information of patients, surgery‐related variables and POP rate. The predictive value of the pSII in the occurrence of POP was analyzed. Results: A total of 1486 patients (male: 748, 50.3%; female: 738, 49.7%; mean age: 58.2 ± 9.7 years; median age: 59 years old, interquartile range: 51–65 years old) were finally included in the study, of which 142 patients had POP with an incidence of 9.5% (142/1486), 9.2% (69/748) in males, and 9.9% (73/738) in females. The proportion of patients with diabetes in the pneumonia group was significantly higher than that in the nonpneumonia group (9.8%, 14/142 vs. 5.6%, 75/1344, p = 0.041). Compared with the nonpneumonia group, the level of the preoperative body mass index (24.2 [21.9, 26.1] vs. 23.1 [21.1, 25.2], p = 0.003) and SII (487 [350, 673] vs. 345 [230, 500], p < 0.001) in the pneumonia group were significantly higher. Multiple factor analysis showed that the pSII (odds ratio: 1.001, 95% confidence interval: 1.000–1.001, p < 0.001) was an independent risk factor for POP (487 [350, 673] vs. 345 [230, 500], p < 0.001); receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the pSII was effective in predicting POP (area under curve: 0.751, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The pSII is closely related to and can effectively predict the occurrence of POP after lung cancer surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary: Background: Preoperative COVID-19 has been associated with excess postoperative morbi-mortality. Consequently, guidelines were developed that recommended the postponement of surgery for at least 7 weeks after the infection. We hypothesised that vaccination against the SARS-CoV-2 and the large predominance of the Omicron variant attenuated the effect of a preoperative COVID-19 on the occurrence of postoperative respiratory morbidity. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study in 41 French centres between 15 March and 30 May 2022 (ClinicalTrials NCT05336110), aimed at comparing the postoperative respiratory morbidity between patients with and without preoperative COVID-19 within 8 weeks prior to surgery. The primary outcome was a composite outcome combining the occurrence of pneumonia, acute respiratory failure, unexpected mechanical ventilation, and pulmonary embolism within the first 30 postoperative days. Secondary outcomes were 30-day mortality, hospital length-of-stay, readmissions, and non-respiratory infections. The sample size was determined to have 90% power to identify a doubling of the primary outcome rate. Adjusted analyses were performed using propensity score modelling and inverse probability weighting. Findings: Of the 4928 patients assessed for the primary outcome, of whom 92.4% were vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2, 705 had preoperative COVID-19. The primary outcome was reported in 140 (2.8%) patients. An 8-week preoperative COVID-19 was not associated with increased postoperative respiratory morbidity (odds ratio 1.08 [95% CI 0.48–2.13]; p = 0.83). None of the secondary outcomes differed between the two groups. Sensitivity analyses concerning the timing between COVID-19 and surgery, and the clinical presentations of preoperative COVID-19 did not show any association with the primary outcome, except for COVID-19 patients with ongoing symptoms the day of surgery (OR 4.29 [1.02–15.8]; p = 0.04). Interpretation: In our Omicron-predominant, highly immunised population undergoing general surgery, a preoperative COVID-19 was not associated with increased postoperative respiratory morbidity. Funding: The study was fully funded by the French Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (SFAR).

Simple Summary: The incidence of postoperative pneumonia (POP) in patients with cancer is high owing to functional impairment of the immune system associated with cancer and additional lung damage caused by surgery. The incidence of POP following major cancer surgeries is unclear. Therefore, we investigated the incidence and risk factors of POP after cancer surgery in patients with the five most common cancers in Korea using a common data model (CDM). The CDM was a method to easily solve clinical questions using medical big data. The cumulative POP incidence in the five cancers using the CDM was approximately 3%. POP was most common in lung cancer (n = 91, 4.5%), followed by gastric (n = 133, 3.3%), colon (n = 19, 3.1%), liver (n = 14, 1.7%), and breast (n = 5, 0.5%) cancers. Older age, male sex, chronic pulmonary disease, mood disorder, and cerebrovascular disease were POP risk factors in patients with cancer. The incidence of postoperative pneumonia (POP) in patients with cancer is high, but its incidence following major cancer surgeries is unclear. Therefore, we investigated the incidence and risk factors of POP after surgery in patients with the five most common cancers in Korea using a common data model (CDM). Patients aged >19 years who underwent gastric, colon, liver, lung, or breast cancer surgery between January 2011 and December 2020 were included, excluding patients who underwent chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Pneumonia was defined as a pneumonia diagnosis code in patients hospitalized postoperatively. Gastric, colon, lung, breast, and liver cancers were noted in 4004 (47.4%), 622 (7.4%), 2022 (24%), 958 (11.3%), and 839 (9.9%) of 8445 patients, respectively. The cumulative POP incidence was 3.1% (n = 262), with the highest incidence in lung cancer (n = 91, 4.5%), followed by gastric (n = 133, 3.3%), colon (n = 19, 3.1%), liver (n = 14, 1.7%), and breast (n = 5, 0.5%) cancers. In multivariable analysis, older age, male sex, history of chronic pulmonary disease, mood disorder, and cerebrovascular disease were POP predictors. The cumulative POP incidence in the five cancers using the CDM was approximately 3%. Older age, male sex, chronic pulmonary disease, mood disorder, and cerebrovascular disease were POP risk factors in patients with cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: Oral frailty is characterized by a decrease in the oral and swallowing function and is a risk factor for pneumonia. In the current study, we analyzed the association between the masseter muscle thickness (MMT) and postoperative pneumonia and mortality after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm. Methods: Overall, 247 patients were retrospectively evaluated. The primary end point was postoperative pneumonia. The MMT was measured as the maximum thickness of the masseter muscle 2 cm caudal to the zygomatic arch using computed tomography images obtained within 3 months before EVAR. Pneumonia was defined as the presence of progressive infiltrates, consolidation, or cavitation on imaging and a fever or leukocytosis. Results: Twenty (8.1%) cases of postoperative pneumonia occurred within 1 year after EVAR. We found that patients with a low MMT (≤ 30th percentile: males, 10.4 mm; females: 8.8 mm) had a significantly higher risk of developing postoperative pneumonia within 1 year after elective EVAR than those with a high value. A comparison of the utility of the MMT and psoas muscle index (PMI) for predicting the 1-, 3-, and 5-year all-cause mortality revealed that the MMT had superior predictive performance. Conclusion: The MMT before elective EVAR predicted postoperative pneumonia and life expectancy, and its predictive performance was superior to that of the PMI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract Objective Large sample investigations for risk factors for pneumonia in elderly patients after hip fracture surgeries are lacking. The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence and risk factors for postoperative pneumonia in geriatric patients following hip fracture operations. Methods A retrospective study of incidence and risk factors in a tertiary referral center between 2016 and 2020 was conducted. Geriatric patients who developed postoperative pneumonia after surgeries of hip fracture during hospitalization stay were defined as cases and those without as controls. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to evaluate risk factors for postoperative pneumonia. Results This study included 3147 patients, and 182 developed postoperative pneumonia, denoting the rate of 5.8%. In the multivariate analyses, age (OR 1.04; 95% CI 1.02–1.06), sex (males) (OR 2.27; 95% CI 1.64–3.13), respiratory disease (OR 3.74; 95% CI 2.32–6.04), heart disease (OR 1.68; 95% CI 1.14–2.47), cerebrovascular disease (OR 1.58; 95% CI 1.11–2.27), liver disease (OR 2.61; 95% CI 1.33–5.15), preoperative stay (OR 1.08; 95% CI 1.05–1.11) and general anesthesia (OR 1.61; 95% CI 1.15–2.27) were identified as independent risk factors for postoperative pneumonia. Conclusions This study identified several risk factors for pneumonia in geriatric patients after hip fracture operations, providing a viable preventive strategy for optimizing clinical conditions for reduction of postoperative pneumonia.

- Abstract
Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is the leading cause of death among patients with hip fractures. Simple and cost-effective markers can be used to assess the risk of these patients. This study aims to investigate the association between POP and preoperative albumin-globulin ratio (AGR) in patients with hip fractures. A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 1417 hip fracture patients admitted to the Department of Orthopaedics at the hospital. Generalized additive and logistic regression models were used to determine both linear and non-linear associations between preoperative AGR and POP. A two-piece regression model was employed to determine the threshold effect. The study included 1417 participants, with a mean age of 77.57 (8.53) years and 26.96% (382/1417) male patients. The prevalence of POP was 6.21%. Following full covariate adjustment, each unit increase in AGR was associated with a 79% reduction in the incidence of POP (OR, 0.23; 95% CI: 0.08–0.63; P = 0.0046). The inflection point was found to be 1.33 using a two-piecewise regression model. For each unit increase in AGR on the left side of the inflection point, the incidence of POP decreased by 93% (OR, 0.07; 95%CI: 0.02–0.34; P = 0.0010). However, there was no statistically significant correlation on the right side of the inflection point (OR, 0.84; 95% CI: 0.17–4.10; P = 0.8287). There exists a non-linear association between preoperative AGR and the incidence of POP in elderly hip fracture patients. When AGR is less than 1.33, the incidence of POP is negatively correlated with AGR. However, there is no correlation when AGR is greater than 1.33. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
