Overview

The predicted postoperative product (PPP) of FEV1 and DLCO is a significant predictor of surgical mortality in patients undergoing lung cancer resection.

Structured PICO

Do preoperative respiratory function indices, specifically the predicted postoperative product (PPP), predict surgical mortality and complications in patients undergoing lung cancer resection?

Population
54 consecutive patients with bronchogenic carcinoma evaluated for lung resection (11 pneumonectomy, 29 lobectomy, 12 wedge resection, 2 no resection), mean age 67 +/- 7 years.

Intervention
Preoperative risk evaluation using predicted postoperative (ppo) FEV1, ppo DLCO, and predicted postoperative product (PPP).
O
Outcome
Surgical mortality, respiratory complications, cardiac complications, and functional loss at 4 months postoperative.hard clinical
