Key result
Postoperative arrhythmias occurred in 37.5% of patients following lung cancer surgery, with older age and lower predicted postoperative index identified as significant risk factors.
Cohort (n=224)
No
Postoperative arrhythmias are a frequent complication of lung cancer surgery, particularly after pneumonectomy, and are strongly predicted by older age and lower predicted postoperative pulmonary function.
May support closer surveillance in older patients with reduced predicted postoperative lung function; hypothesis-generating for preventive strategies in lung cancer surgery.

Nakagawa et al. (1990) conducted a cohort in Lung cancer (n=224). Surgery for lung cancer was evaluated on Incidence of postoperative arrhythmias. Postoperative arrhythmias occurred in 37.5% of patients following lung cancer surgery, with older age and lower predicted postoperative index identified as significant risk factors.
