Key result
Preoperative dyspnea at rest (p<0.001), dyspnea on exertion (p=0.003), and dysnatremia (p=0.011) independently predicted 30-day mortality after elective lobectomy for lung cancer.

What preoperative risk factors predict 30-day mortality after elective lobectomy for lung cancer?
Preoperative dyspnea at rest, dyspnea on exertion, and dysnatremia independently predict 30-day mortality after elective lobectomy for lung cancer, independent of complications.
Jean et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Lung cancer (n=6,435). Preoperative risk factors was evaluated on Perioperative mortality within 30 days of surgery. Preoperative dyspnea at rest (p<0.001), dyspnea on exertion (p=0.003), and dysnatremia (p=0.011) independently predicted 30-day mortality after elective lobectomy for lung cancer.
