Postoperative mortality in lung cancer patients.
Surgery for lung cancer frequently results in serious life-threatening complications, and the surgery itself may become the cause of death. Mortality within 30 days following lung cancer surgery ranges of 0.6-5.2%, as reported from a study of a great many patients (more than 1,000). Surgical mortality is high among elderly patients and those suffering from compromised respiratory functions. Whe...
متن کاملResection rates and postoperative mortality in 7,899 patients with lung cancer.
Postoperative death used to be an important complication of resections for lung cancer, especially in elderly patients. To support decision making in a general situation, contemporary results and prognostic factors were evaluated. The computer records of 7899 lung cancer patients, diagnosed from 1984 until 1992 in hospitals connected to the Rotterdam Cancer Registry, were analysed to evaluate r...
متن کاملDetected troponin elevation is associated with high early mortality after lung resection for cancer
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction can be difficult to diagnose after lung surgery. As recent diagnostic criteria emphasize serum cardiac markers (in particular serum troponin) we set out to evaluate its clinical utility and to establish the long term prognostic impact of detected abnormal postoperative troponin levels after lung resection. METHODS We studied a historic cohort of patients with ...
متن کاملEarly mortality after surgical resection for lung cancer: an analysis of the English National Lung cancer audit.
INTRODUCTION For appropriately staged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) surgical resection can dramatically improve survival, but some may not be offered this treatment because of concerns about perioperative mortality. METHODS We used data from the National Lung Cancer Audit (NLCA) to determine the proportions of English patients who died within 30 and 90 days after surgery for NSCLC. We qu...
متن کاملPostoperative Acute Exacerbation of IPF after Lung Resection for Primary Lung Cancer
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by slowly progressive respiratory dysfunction. Nevertheless, some IPF patients experience acute exacerbations generally characterized by suddenly worsening and fatal respiratory failure with new lung opacities and pathological lesions of diffuse alveolar damage. Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AEIPF) is a fatal disorder d...
