Relationship Between Preoperative Inflammation Ratios Derived From Preoperative Blood Cell Count and Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Patients Undergoing Lobectomy: A Single-Center Observational Study
Authors' conclusion
The results suggested that simple available inflammatory ratios are not useful for the preoperative identification of patients at risk of postoperative major complications in elective lobectomy surgery.
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing scheduled lobectomy, Foch University Hospital, Suresnes, France, January 2018 to September 2021
- Participants
- 208 consecutive patients
- Outcome
- Association of preoperative inflammatory ratios (NLR, monocyte-to-lymphocyte, platelet-to-lymphocyte, systemic inflammation index, systemic inflammation response index, aggregate inflammation systemic index) with ≥1 major postoperative complication
Methodological detailssingle-centre
- Single-centre
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
≥1 major postoperative complication
37%
Preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), median (IQR)
2.67
1.92–3.69
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Prolonged postoperative length of stay (LOS) (above 75th percentile)
- Median postoperative LOS (days)
- 7 (5-10)
- None of the ratios associated with prolonged LOS
