Abstract
Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is a widely recommended treatment for empyema in advanced stages. However, only a few studies have evaluated prognostic factors among patients with empyema who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Furthermore, no studies have evaluated predictors of direct discharge home. Patients and Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study included 161 patients with empyema who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in five acute-care hospitals. The primary outcome was the probability of direct discharge home. The secondary outcome was the length of hospital stay after surgery. We broadly assessed pre-operative factors and performed univariable logistic regression for the direct discharge home and univariable gamma regression for the length of hospital stay after surgery. Results: Of the 161 included patients, 74.5% were directly discharged home. Age (>70 years; -24.3%); altered mental status (-33.4%); blood urea nitrogen (>22.4 mg/dL; -19.4%); and pleural pH (<7.2; -17.6%) were associated with high probabilities of not being directly discharged home. Fever (15.2%) and albumin (> 2.7 g/dL; 20.2%) were associated with high probabilities of being directly discharged home. The median length of stay after surgery was 19 days. Age (>70 years; 6.2 days); altered mental status (5.6 days); purulence (2.7 days); pleural thickness (>2 cm; 5.1 days); bronchial fistula (14.6 days); albumin (>2.7 g/dL; 3.1 days); and C-reactive protein (>20 mg/dL; 3.6 days) were associated with a longer post-operation hospital stay. Conclusions: Physicians should consider using these prognostic factors to predict non-direct discharge to the home for patients with empyema.

[PMID: 37980480 PMCID: PMC10657598 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-023-02259-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the postoperative quality of life (PQOL) between non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic sublobar resection (subsegment, segment, or wedge) and lobectomy. Meanwhile, we developed a PQOL scale for patients with NSCLC after optimization. METHODS Developing and evaluating the postoperative quality-of-life scale of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC-PQOL) followed by the international principles for developing quality-of-life scale. Therefore, we used the NSCLC-PQOL scale to evaluate the PQOL of patients who underwent different surgeries. RESULTS The overall PQOL of patients who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy and sublobar resection gradually worsened from discharge to 3 months postoperatively and progressively improved from three to 6 months postoperatively. And the sublobar resection group showed better PQOL in chest tightness, breath shortness, breathlessness, cough and expectoration than the lobectomy group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The final version of the NSCLC-PQOL contained three dimensions: "signs-symptoms", "psychological and psychiatric", and "social-life" dimensions. CONCLUSIONS The sublobar resection group showed better PQOL in "chest tightness", "breath shortness", "breathlessness", "cough", and "expectoration" than the lobectomy group. Twenty-two items formed a well-behaved PQOL scale after being validated satisfactorily. The scale was a suitable rating tool for evaluating the NSCLC-PQOL of patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION As this study was a retrospective study and not a clinical trial, we did not register this study in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Minimally invasive lung surgery (MILS) gradually became the primary surgical therapy for lung cancer, which remains the leading cause of cancer death. Adequate muscle relaxation by deep neuromuscular block (NMB) is particularly necessary for MILS to provide a satisfactory surgical field. However, deep NMB for MILS remains controversial, as one-lung ventilation may provide an acceptable surgical field. Then, we will perform a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify the efficacy of deep NMB for MILS. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will search the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Ovid Medline, Web of Science, Chinese BioMedical Literature, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP and Wanfang databases from inception to March 2022 to identify randomised controlled trials of adult participants undergoing MILS with deep NMB. Studies published in English or Chinese will be considered. The primary outcome will be the surgical conditions according to the surgeon's perspective. Secondary outcomes will be the incidence of perioperative events and perioperative mortality. Heterogeneity will be assessed by the χ2 test and I2 statistic. Data will be synthesised by both a fixed-effect and a random-effects meta-analysis, with an intention to present the random-effects result if there is no indication of funnel plot asymmetry. Otherwise, metaregression will be used. The Cochrane risk-of-bias tool, trial sequential analysis and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation will be used to assess the evidence quality and control the risks of random errors. Funnel plots and Egger's regression test will be used to assess publication bias. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval was not required for this systematic review protocol. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42021254016.

Abstract
The concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), initially introduced in the field of colorectal surgery, has been developed in order to optimize the postoperative course. In recent years the number of authors analyzing the role of ERAS in lung cancer surgery is increasing, highlighting several interventions with positive effects on the postoperative course. Yet it is still difficult to draw definite conclusions and specific guidelines, as most of these studies largely differ for their methodological aspects and study populations. Herein we focus on the key elements of each single intervention, trying to identify what we can apply in a common pathway, and which aspects are still to be evaluated for the validation of an ERAS program.
