What are the predictors and outcomes of postoperative pulmonary complications following abdominal surgery?
p-value: p=<0.001
Emergent surgery and cardiac comorbidities are key predictors of postoperative pulmonary complications following abdominal surgery, which in turn worsen clinical outcomes.
Kumar et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Abdominal surgery. Emergent surgery and cardiac comorbidities was evaluated on Development of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) (p=<0.001). Emergent surgery and cardiac comorbidities were independent predictors for the development of postoperative pulmonary complications following abdominal surgery (P<0.001).
