Surgical risk evaluation of lung cancer in COPD patients – A cohort observational study
This study included 50 patients (46 men, 92.0%) with a mean age of 64.7 years old (standard deviation 7.9), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) of 61.8% (SD 19.0%) and carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) of 46.0% (SD 14.8%). Complications were observed in eighteen patients (36.0%) including 2 deaths (4.0%). Peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) expressed in percentage of the predicted value was the only parameter showing a statistically significant difference between the groups with and without complications (p =0.027). The best value of VO2peak to discriminate complications occurrence was 61.0%. This study hi...
