[PMID: 38925416 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbi.2024.06.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether inactivated influenza vaccination (IIV) or pneumococcal vaccination are associated with the risk of dementia; however, both types of vaccination are recommended for older adults. Studies have shown that the IIV is negatively associated with incident dementia; however, the uptake of pneumococcal vaccinations has not been considered. We investigated the independent associations of IIV and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) with incident dementia in older adults. METHODS Health-related information on older Japanese adults was obtained through a baseline survey conducted in 2013 (baseline survey). The uptake of IIV and PPSV23 was determined in a second survey conducted in 2016 (second wave). Both surveys were conducted among independent Japanese older adults aged ≥ 65 years at the two surveys and who had not been certified as needing long-term care (LTC). In the second wave, 9,865 participants were followed up for 3.5 years (short-term follow-up), and 6,995 participants were followed up for six years and five months (long-term follow-up) until they required LTC due to dementia onset (incident dementia). A competing risk model with stabilized inverse probability weighting (SIPW) was constructed to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) of incident dementia. RESULTS PPSV23 uptake was negatively associated with incident dementia among participants in both the short- and long-term follow-up periods after SIPW (short-term follow-up: HR: 0.77, 95 % CI: 0.63 - 0.95; long-term follow-up: HR: 0.83, 95 % CI: 0.70 - 0.97). Conversely, IIV uptake was not associated with incident dementia among participants in either follow-up group (short-term follow-up: HR: 0.86, 95 % CI: 0.63-1.16; long-term follow-up: HR: 0.99, 95 % CI: 0.76-1.29). The PPSV23 uptake was negatively associated with incident dementia in participants without the IIV uptake (short-term follow-up: HR: 0.44, 95 % CI: 0.24 - 0.81; long-term follow-up: HR: 0.47, 95 % CI: 0.29 - 0.76). Conversely, the IIV uptake was not associated with incident dementia regardless of the PPSV23 status (short-term follow-up: HR: 0.87, 95 % CI: 0.62 - 1.23; long-term follow-up: HR: 1.00, 95 % CI: 0.74 - 1.35). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the PPSV23 uptake was independently associated with the incidence of dementia. However, the IIV uptake was not associated with the incidence of dementia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) and mortality in patients with esophageal cancer and the cause of mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study investigated patients with esophageal cancer from January 2011 to December 2015. ILAs were visually scored on baseline CT using a 3-point scale (0 = non-ILA, 1 = indeterminate for ILA, and 2 = ILA). ILAs were classified into subcategories of non-subpleural, subpleural non-fibrotic, and subpleural fibrotic. Five-year overall survival (OS) was compared between patients with and without ILAs using the multivariable Cox proportional hazards model. Subgroup analyses were performed based on cancer stage and ILA subcategories. The prevalences of treatment complications and death due to esophageal cancer and pneumonia/respiratory failure were analyzed using Fisher's exact test. RESULTS A total of 478 patients with esophageal cancer (age, 66.8 years ± 8.6 [standard deviation]; 64 women) were evaluated in this study. Among them, 267 patients showed no ILAs, 125 patients were indeterminate for ILAs, and 86 patients showed ILAs. ILAs were a significant factor for shorter OS (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.10-2.55, P = 0.016) in the multivariable Cox proportional hazards model adjusting for age, sex, smoking history, clinical stage, and histology. On subgroup analysis using patients with clinical stage IVB, the presence of ILAs was a significant factor (HR = 3.78, 95% CI 1.67-8.54, P = 0.001). Subpleural fibrotic ILAs were significantly associated with shorter OS (HR = 2.22, 95% CI 1.25-3.93, P = 0.006). There was no significant difference in treatment complications. Patients with ILAs showed a higher prevalence of death due to pneumonia/respiratory failure than those without ILAs (non-ILA, 2/95 [2%]; ILA, 5/39 [13%]; P = 0.022). The prevalence of death due to esophageal cancer was similar in patients with and without ILA (non-ILA, 82/95 [86%]; ILA 32/39 [82%]; P = 0.596). CONCLUSION ILAs were significantly associated with shorter survival in patients with esophageal cancer.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e32821. [PMID: 38975138 PMCID: PMC11226845 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are associated with high mortality rates after lung cancer surgery. Although some studies have discussed the different risk factors for PPCs, the relationship between these factors and their impact on PPCs remains unclear. Hence, this study aimed to systematically summarize the incidence and determine the risk factors for PPCs. We conducted a systematic search of five English and four Chinese databases from their inception to April 1, 2023. A total of 34 articles (8 cohort studies and 26 case-control studies) (n = 31696, 5833 with PPCs) were included in the analysis. The primary outcome was the incidence of PPC. The secondary outcome was the odds ratio (OR) of PPCs based on the identified risk factors calculated by RevMan 5.4. A narrative descriptive summary of the study results was presented when pooling the results or conducting a meta-analysis was not possible. The pooled incidence of PPCs was 18.4 %. This meta-analysis demonstrated that TNM staging (OR 4.29, 95 % CI 2.59-7.13), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (OR 2.47, 95 % CI 1.80-3.40), smoking history (OR 2.37, 95 % CI 1.33-4.21), poor compliance with respiratory rehabilitation (OR 1.64, 95 % CI 1.17-2.30), male sex (OR 1.62, 95 % CI 1.28-2.04), diabetes (OR 1.56, 95 % CI 1.07-2.27), intraoperative bleeding volume (OR 1.44, 95 % CI 1.02-2.04), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score (ECOG) > 1 (OR 1.37, 95 % CI 1.04-1.80), history of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy (OR 1.32, 95 % CI 1.03-1.70), older age (OR 1.18, 95 % CI 1.11-1.24), and duration of surgery (OR 1.07, 95 % CI 1.04-1.10) were significantly associated with a higher risk of PPCs. In contrast, the peak expiratory flow rate (PEF) (OR 0.99, 95 % CI 0.98-0.99) was a protective factor. Clinicians should implement targeted and effective interventions to prevent the occurrence of PPCs.

Abstract
PURPOSE Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common comorbidity of lung cancer. We hypothesized that severe DM is associated with increased complications after surgical resection of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS A review of our retrospective thoracic database identified 1139 consecutive surgical resections for NSCLC from 2002 to 2021. Our analysis included the exploration of clinicopathological features, perioperative variables, and surgical outcomes. RESULTS In addition to lung cancer, 170 patients (14.9%) had DM. The patients included 132 (77.6%) men and 38 (22.4%) women, with a median age of 72 (range, 51-93) years old. The median preoperative fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels were 135 mg/dL (range, 57-303) and 6.9% (range, 5.1-14.8), respectively. Eighty-one patients had DM as a single comorbidity, and 89 patients had other comorbidities or a relevant medical history. A total of 144 patients were prescribed these drugs. There were 107 patients (62.9%) who consulted a specialist diabetes endocrinology department preoperatively and 118 patients (69.4%) who required sliding-scale insulin during the perioperative period. Forty-seven patients (27.6%) developed post-operative complications. No cases of bronchopleural fistula were noted. A univariate analysis showed that the sex (p = 0.017), body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.0032), surgical procedure (p = 0.017), surgical time (p = 0.002), and lymphatic invasion (p = 0.011) were significantly different among patients stratified by postoperative complications. A multivariate analysis showed that a low BMI (odds ratio [OR]: 0.413, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.196-0.870, p = 0.018), long surgical time (OR: 2.690, 95% CI: 1.190-6.082, p = 0.015), and presence of lymphatic invasion (OR: 2.849, 95% CI: 1.319-6.135, p = 0.007) were risk factors for postoperative complications. In contrast, severe preoperative DM did not have a significant negative effect on the incidence of postoperative complications. CONCLUSION In modern respiratory surgery, severe DM does not affect the short-term outcomes under strict preoperative treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) have been linked to mortality and can be identified on computed tomography (CT) scans. In the present study we aimed to evaluate the predictive value of automatically quantified ILA based on the Fleischner Society definition in patients with stage I NSCLC. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 948 patients with pathological stage I NSCLC who underwent pulmonary resection between April 2009 and October 2022. A commercially available deep learning-based automated quantification program for ILA was used to evaluate the preoperative CT data. The Fleischner Society definition, quantitative results, and interdisciplinary discussion led to the division of patients into normal and ILA groups. The sum of the fibrotic and nonfibrotic ILA components constituted the total ILA component and more than 5%. RESULTS Of the 948 patients with stage I NSCLC, 99 (10.4%) patients had ILA. Shorter overall survival and recurrence-free survival was associated with the presence of ILA. After controlling for confounding variables, the presence of ILA remained significant for increased risk of death (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.09; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.91-5.00; p < 0.001) and the presence of ILA remained significant for increased recurrence (HR = 1.96; 95% CI: 1.16-3.30; p = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS The automated CT quantification of ILA, based on the Fleischner Society definition, was significantly linked to poorer survival and recurrence in patients with stage I NSCLC.

Abstract
Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) is a radiographic term, which has recently undergone clarification of definition with creation of 3 subtypes. ILA is defined as incidental identification of computed tomography abnormalities in a patient who is not suspected of having an interstitial lung disease (ILD). A subset of ILA may progress to clinically significant ILD and is associated with morbidities not related to progression such as an increased incidence of sepsis-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ILA has been associated with an increased incidence of treatment-related complications in patients with lung cancer. Information on corresponding histology is limited; knowledge gaps exist concerning optimal patient management.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of a Roy adaptation model (RAM)-based cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) intervention on elderly patients diagnosed with primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing curative resection. A total of 280 patients diagnosed with primary NSCLC were randomized into RAM-based CST group and control group. Outcomes were assessed at three intervals: pre-surgery, discharge, and one-month post-discharge. Cognitive function was evaluated using Mini-Cognitive test. Postoperative delirium prevalence was determined within 48 hours post-surgery using Nursing Delirium Screening Scale. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale evaluated anxiety and depression symptoms, while Quality of Life (QoL) was assessed via Short Form-36 (SF36) Health Survey. The RAM-based CST group demonstrated significantly higher Mini-Cog test scores than the control group upon discharge and post-intervention. Patients with RAM-based CST exhibited a decrease in postoperative delirium compared to the control group. The RAM-based CST intervention yielded an improvement in anxiety and depression at discharge and 1-month post-discharge compared to preoperative levels. Additionally, the RAM-based CST group exhibited substantial enhancements in SF36 subcategory scores at 1-month post-discharge compared to pre-surgery. At post-intervention, the RAM-based CST group demonstrated significantly higher scores than the control group across various health-related domains, including role limitations due to emotional problems, mental health, general health perception, bodily pain, and role limitations due to physical problems. The RAM-based CST intervention in elderly NSCLC patients undergoing curative resection yielded significant enhancements in cognitive function, reduced delirium incidence, improved emotional well-being, and better QoL postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was designed to investigate the clinical outcomes of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in the perioperative period in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). AIM To investigate the potential enhancement of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in postoperative recovery in elderly patients with NSCLC. METHODS We retrospectively analysed the clinical data of 85 elderly NSCLC patients who underwent ERAS (the ERAS group) and 327 elderly NSCLC patients who received routine care (the control group) after VATS at the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Peking University Shenzhen Hospital between May 2015 and April 2017. After propensity score matching of baseline data, we analysed the postoperative stay, total hospital expenses, postoperative 48-h pain score, and postoperative complication rate for the 2 groups of patients who underwent lobectomy or sublobar resection. RESULTS After propensity score matching, ERAS significantly reduced the postoperative hospital stay (6.96 ± 4.16 vs 8.48 ± 4.18 d, P = 0.001) and total hospital expenses (48875.27 ± 18437.5 vs 55497.64 ± 21168.63 CNY, P = 0.014) and improved the satisfaction score (79.8 ± 7.55 vs 77.35 ± 7.72, P = 0.029) relative to those for routine care. No significant between-group difference was observed in postoperative 48-h pain score (4.68 ± 1.69 vs 5.28 ± 2.1, P = 0.090) or postoperative complication rate (21.2% vs 27.1%, P = 0.371). Subgroup analysis showed that ERAS significantly reduced the postoperative hospital stay and total hospital expenses and increased the satisfaction score of patients who underwent lobectomy but not of patients who underwent sublobar resection. CONCLUSION ERAS effectively reduced the postoperative hospital stay and total hospital expenses and improved the satisfaction score in the perioperative period for elderly NSCLC patients who underwent lobectomy but not for patients who underwent sublobar resection.

Abstract
Background Single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) has the advantage of assessing regional lung function. We aimed to investigate the potential of ventilation (SPECT/CT) for predicting postoperative lung function in patients with lung cancer. Methods This retrospective study included consecutive patients with lung cancer who underwent lobectomy, preoperative ventilation, and perfusion SPECT/CT between January 2020 and December 2021. The percentage of predicted postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 s (ppoFEV1%) and the percentage of predicted postoperative diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (ppoDLCO%) were calculated from the % counts of each scan based on anatomical segments for lobar function. Correlation tests were performed between the predicted lung function values and actual ppoFEV1% and ppoDLCO%. Results Among the 47 patients, 29 men and 18 women aged 67.5±9.6 years were included. Moreover, 46 ventilation and 41 perfusion SPECT/CT scans were obtained. The pulmonary function on ventilation SPECT/CT strongly correlated with perfusion SPECT/CT (correlation coefficient r=0.939 for ppoFEV1%, P<0.001; r=0.938 for ppoDLCO%, P<0.001). Both ppoFEV1% and ppoDLCO% values obtained from the ventilation and perfusion scans strongly correlated with postoperative FEV1% and DLCO% (correlation coefficient, r=0.774 and r=0.768 for ventilation; r=0.795 and r=0.751 for perfusion, each P<0.001). Conclusions Ventilation SPECT/CT was comparable to perfusion SPECT/CT in predicting postoperative lung function.

Effects of individualized positive end-expiratory pressure on intraoperative oxygenation in thoracic surgical patients: study protocol for a prospective randomized controlled trial. Trials 2024; 25:19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative hypoxemia and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) often occur in patients with one-lung ventilation (OLV), due to both pulmonary shunt and atelectasis. It has been demonstrated that individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (iPEEP) can effectively improve intraoperative oxygenation, increase lung compliance, and reduce driving pressure, thereby decreasing the risk of developing PPCs. However, its effect during OLV is still unknown. Therefore, we aim to investigate whether iPEEP ventilation during OLV is superior to 5 cmH2O PEEP in terms of intraoperative oxygenation and the occurrence of PPCs. METHODS This study is a prospective, randomized controlled, single-blind, single-center trial. A total of 112 patients undergoing thoracoscopic pneumonectomy surgery and OLV will be enrolled in the study. They will be randomized into two groups: the static lung compliance guided iPEEP titration group (Cst-iPEEP Group) and the constant 5 cmH2O PEEP group (PEEP 5 Group). The primary outcome will be the oxygenation index at 30 min after OLV and titration. Secondary outcomes are oxygenation index at other operative time points, PPCs, postoperative adverse events, ventilator parameters, vital signs, pH value, inflammatory factors, and economic indicators. DISCUSSION This trial explores the effect of iPEEP on intraoperative oxygenation during OLV and PPCs. It provides some clinical references for optimizing the lung protective ventilation strategy of OLV, improving patient prognosis, and accelerating postoperative rehabilitation.

Practice patterns in reporting interstitial lung abnormality at a tertiary academic medical center. Clin Imaging 2023; 104:109996.

Abstract
PURPOSE Interstitial lung abnormality (ILA) is a common finding on chest CTs and is associated with higher all-cause mortality. The 2020 Fleischner Society position paper standardized the terminology and definition of ILA. Despite these published guidelines, the extent to which radiologists use this term is unknown. We evaluated practice patterns for identification of ILAs among radiologists at a tertiary academic medical center. METHODS In this retrospective review, we identified 157 radiology reports between January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2021 containing the phrase "interstitial lung abnormality" or "interstitial abnormality". After exclusions, 125 CT scans were reviewed by thoracic-trained radiologists using the sequential reading method. RESULTS Seventy-seven (62%) patients were found to have ILA (69% subpleural fibrotic, 19% subpleural non-fibrotic, and 6% non-subpleural), nine (7%) were equivocal for ILA and 39 (31%) had no ILA. The term ILA was used exclusively by thoracic-trained radiologists except for two cases. Use of the term ILA has rapidly increased since the position paper publication (none from 2010-2017, one case in 2018, 20 cases in 2019, 41 cases in 2020, and 73 cases in 2021), and cases were typically very mild (1-25% of the lung). CONCLUSION While there has been increased use of the term ILA among thoracic-trained radiologists, non-thoracic radiologists have essentially not begun to use the term. Almost one-third of cases labeled ILA on clinical reads were re-classified as not having ILA on research reads.

Development and validation of a nomogram for predicting pulmonary complications after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in elderly patients with lung cancer. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1265204.

Abstract
Background Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) significantly increase the morbidity and mortality in elderly patients with lung cancer. Considering the adverse effects of PPCs, we aimed to derive and validate a nomogram to predict pulmonary complications after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in elderly patients with lung cancer and to assist surgeons in optimizing patient-centered treatment plans. Methods The study enrolled 854 eligible elderly patients with lung cancer who underwent sub-lobectomy or lobectomy. A clinical prediction model for the probability of PPCs was developed using univariate and multivariate analyses. Furthermore, data from one center were used to derive the model, and data from another were used for external validation. The model's discriminatory capability, predictive accuracy, and clinical usefulness were assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis, respectively. Results Among the eligible elderly patients with lung cancer, 214 (25.06%) developed pulmonary complications after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Age, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, surgical procedure, operative time, forced expiratory volume in one second, and the carbon monoxide diffusing capacity of the lung were independent predictors of PPCs and were included in the final model. The areas under the ROC curves (AUC) of the training and validation sets were 0.844 and 0.796, respectively. Ten-fold cross-validation was used to evaluate the generalizability of the predictive model, with an average AUC value of 0.839. The calibration curve showed good consistency between the observed and predicted probabilities. The proposed nomogram showed good net benefit with a relatively wide range of threshold probabilities. Conclusion A nomogram for elderly patients with lung cancer can be derived using preoperative and intraoperative variables. Our model can also be accessed using the online web server https://pulmonary-disease-predictor.shinyapps.io/dynnomapp/. Combining both may help surgeons as a clinically easy-to-use tool for minimizing the prevalence of pulmonary complications after lung resection in elderly patients.

Abstract
Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) are incidentally found nondependent parenchymal abnormalities affecting more than 5% of any lung zone and are potentially related to interstitial lung disease and worsening post-treatment outcomes in malignancies and infectious diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and type of ILA changes in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and their change in the follow-up period. This retrospective single-center study included 113 patients with newly diagnosed HNSCC who underwent lung MSCT prior to treatment. ILAs were reported in 13.3% of patients on pretreatment MSCT. Patients with ILAs were significantly older (median 75 vs. 67 years). ILAs were most prevalent in lower zones (73.3%) (p = 0.0045). The most reported ILA subtype was subpleural non-fibrotic (60%) (p = 0.0354). Reticulations were the most frequently described pattern (93.3%) (p < 0.0001). Progression of ILAs was reported in almost 30% of patients after receiving therapy. Patients with pre-existing ILAs were more likely to develop radiation-induced lung fibrosis after adjuvant radiotherapy (p = 0.0464). In conclusion, ILA's incidence, distribution and presentation were similar to previous research conducted in other special cohorts. Our research suggests a possible association of more frequent radiation pneumonitis with ILA changes in patients with HNSCC, which should be further investigated.

Abstract
COPD is a condition characterized by chronic airflow obstruction resulting from chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. The clinical picture is usually progressive with respiratory symptoms such as exertional dyspnea and chronic cough. For many years, spirometry was used to establish a diagnosis of COPD. Recent advancements in imaging techniques allow quantitative and qualitative analysis of the lung parenchyma as well as related airways and vascular and extrapulmonary manifestations of COPD. These imaging methods may allow prognostication of disease and shed light on the efficacy of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions. This is the first of a two-part series of articles on the usefulness of imaging methods in COPD, and it highlights useful information that clinicians can obtain from these imaging studies to make more accurate diagnosis and therapeutic decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pulmonary insufficiency (PPI) is an important contributor to morbidity and mortality after thoracic surgery. Lung ultrasound is a reliable tool for assessing respiratory function. We sought to determine the clinical value of the early lung ultrasound B-line score for predicting changes in pulmonary function after thoracic surgery. METHODS Eighty-nine patients undergoing elective lung surgery were included in this study. The B-line score was determined 30 min after removal of the endotracheal tube, and the PaO2/FiO2 ratio was recorded 30 min after extubation and on the third postoperative day. Patients were divided into normal (PaO2/FiO2 ≥ 300) and PPI (PaO2/FiO2 < 300) groups according to their PaO2/FiO2 ratios. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify independent predictors of postoperative pulmonary insufficiency. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed for significantly correlated variables. RESULTS Eighty-nine patients undergoing elective lung surgery were included in this study. We evaluated 69 patients in the normal group and 20 in the PPI group. Patients conforming to NYHA class 3 at administration were significantly more represented in the PPI group (5.8 and 55%; p < 0.001). B-line scores were significantly higher in the PPI group than in the normal group (16; IQR 13-21 vs. 7; IQR 5-10; p < 0.001). The B-line score was an independent risk factor (OR = 1.349 95% CI 1.154-1.578; p < 0.001), and its best cutoff value for predicting PPI was 12 (sensitivity: 77.5%; specificity: 66.7%). CONCLUSIONS Lung ultrasound B-line scores 30 min after extubation are effective in predicting early PPI in patients undergoing thoracic surgery. Trial registration This study was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trials Registry (ChiCTR2000040374).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) are associated with the risk of lung cancer and its mortality. However, the impact of ILA on treatment-related complications and survival in patients who underwent curative surgery is still unknown. RESEARCH QUESTION This study aimed to evaluate the significance of the presence of computed tomography-diagnosed ILA and histopathologically matched interstitial abnormalities on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and the long-term survival of patients who underwent surgical treatment for lung cancer. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS A matched case-control study was designed to compare PPCs and mortality among 50 patients with ILA, 50 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and 200 controls. Cases and controls were matched by sex, age, smoking history, tumour location, the extent of surgery, tumour histology and pathological TNM stage. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the OR of the prevalence of PPCs increased to 9.56 (95% CI 2.85 to 32.1, p<0.001) in the ILA group and 56.50 (95% CI 17.92 to 178.1, p<0.001) in the IPF group. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates of the control, ILA and IPF groups were 76% (95% CI 71% to 83%), 52% (95% CI 37% to 74%) and 32% (95% CI 19% to 53%), respectively (log-rank p<0.001). Patients with ILA had better 5-year OS than those with IPF (log-rank p=0.046) but had worse 5-year OS than those in the control group (log-rank p=0.002). CONCLUSIONS The presence of radiological and pathological features of ILA in patients with lung cancer undergoing curative surgery was associated with frequent complications and decreased survival.

Abstract
PURPOSE Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) represent nondependent abnormalities on chest computed tomography (CT) indicating lung parenchymal damages due to inflammation and fibrosis. Interstitial lung abnormalities have been studied as a predictor of clinical outcome in lung cancer, but not in other thoracic malignancies. The present study investigated the prevalence of ILA in patients with esophageal cancer and identified risk factors and clinical implications of ILA in these patients. METHODS The study included 208 patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer (median age, 65.6 years; 166 males, 42 females). Interstitial lung abnormality was scored on baseline CT scans before treatment using a 3-point scale (0 = no evidence of ILA, 1 = equivocal for ILA, 2 = ILA). Clinical characteristics and overall survival were compared in patients with ILA (score 2) and others. RESULTS An ILA was present in 14 of 208 patients (7%) with esophageal cancer on pretreatment chest CT. Patients with ILA were significantly older (median age, 69 vs 65, respectively; P = 0.011), had a higher number of pack-years of smoking ( P = 0.02), and more commonly had T4 stage disease ( P = 0.026) than patients with ILA score of 1 or 0. Interstitial lung abnormality on baseline scan was associated with a lack of surgical resection after chemoradiotherapy (7/14, 50% vs 39/194, 20% respectively; P = 0.016). Interstitial lung abnormality was not associated with overall survival (log-rank P = 0.75, Cox P = 0.613). CONCLUSIONS An ILA was present in 7% of esophageal cancer patients, which is similar to the prevalence in general population and in smokers. Interstitial lung abnormality was strongly associated with a lack of surgical resection after chemoradiotherapy, indicating an implication of ILA in treatment selection in these patients, which can be further studied in larger cohorts.

Interstitial Lung Abnormalities at CT: Subtypes, Clinical Significance, and Associations with Lung Cancer. Radiographics 2022; 42:1925-1939. [PMID: 36083805 PMCID: PMC9630713 DOI: 10.1148/rg.220073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2022] [Revised: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
Interstitial lung abnormality (ILA) is defined as an interstitial change detected incidentally on CT images. It is seen in 4%-9% of smokers and 2%-7% of nonsmokers. ILA has a tendency to progress with time and is associated with respiratory symptoms, decreased exercise capability, reduced pulmonary function, and increased mortality. ILAs can be classified into three subcategories: nonsubpleural, subpleural nonfibrotic, and subpleural fibrotic. In cases of ILA, clinically significant interstitial lung disease should be identified and requires clinically driven management by a pulmonologist. Risk factors for the progression of ILA include clinical elements (ie, inhalation exposures, medication use, radiation therapy, thoracic surgery, physiologic findings, and gas exchange findings) and radiologic elements (ie, basal and peripheral predominance and fibrotic findings). It is recommended that individuals with one or more clinical or radiologic risk factors for progression of ILA be actively monitored with pulmonary function testing and CT. To avoid overcalling ILA at CT, radiologists must recognize the imaging pitfalls, including centrilobular nodularity, dependent abnormality, suboptimal inspiration, osteophyte-related lesions, apical cap and pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis-like lesions, aspiration, and infection. There is a close association between ILA and lung cancer, and many studies have reported an increased incidence of lung cancer, worse prognoses, and/or increased pulmonary complications in relation to cancer treatment in patients with ILA. ILA is considered to be an important comorbidity in patients with lung cancer. Accordingly, all radiologists involved with body CT must have sound knowledge of ILAs owing to the high prevalence and potential clinical significance of these anomalies. An overview of ILAs, including a literature review of the associations between ILAs and lung cancer, is presented. ©RSNA, 2022.

Risk Factors for Postoperative Pulmonary Complications Leading to Increased In-Hospital Mortality in Patients Undergoing Thoracotomy for Primary Lung Cancer Resection: A Multicentre Retrospective Cohort Study of the German Thorax Registry. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11195774. [PMID: 36233649 PMCID: PMC9572507 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11195774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) represent the most frequent complications after lung surgery, and they increase postoperative mortality. This study investigated the incidence of PPCs, in-hospital mortality rate, and risk factors leading to PPCs in patients undergoing open thoracotomy lung resections (OTLRs) for primary lung cancer. The data from 1426 patients in this multicentre retrospective study were extracted from the German Thorax Registry and presented after univariate and multivariate statistical processing. A total of 472 patients showed at least one PPC. The presence of two PPCs was associated with a significantly increased mortality rate of 7% (p < 0.001) compared to that of patients without or with a single PPC. Three or more PPCs increased the mortality rate to 33% (p < 0.001). Multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed male gender (OR 1.4), age > 60 years (OR 1.8), and current or previous smoking (OR 1.6), while the pre-operative risk factors were still CRP levels > 3 mg/dl (OR 1.7) and FEV1 < 60% (OR 1.4). Procedural independent risk factors for PPCs were: duration of surgery exceeding 195 min (OR 1.6), the amount of intraoperative blood loss (OR 1.6), partial ligation of the pulmonary artery (OR 1.5), continuing invasive ventilation after surgery (OR 2.9), and infusion of intraoperative crystalloids exceeding 6 mL/kg/h (OR 1.9). The incidence of PPCs was significantly lower in patients with continuous epidural or paravertebral analgesia (OR 0.7). Optimising perioperative management by implementing continuous neuroaxial techniques and optimised fluid therapy may reduce the incidence of PPCs and associated mortality.

Dismal prognosis of elderly gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 3. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2022; 407:3413-3421.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score of 3 is relatively common in elderly patients, there have been few debates on the indications for gastrectomy in elderly gastric cancer (GC) patients with ASA3. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate gastrectomy's clinical relevance in elderly patients with GC and ASA3. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 228 consecutive elderly GC patients (aged ≥ 75 years) without prior treatments who underwent curative gastrectomy between 2013 and 2017. RESULTS Thirty-three patients with ASA3 showed significantly poorer prognosis than those with ASA1 and 2 (p = 0.004). The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model showed that ASA3 (p = 0.021) and pStage (p = 0.007) were independent prognostic factors, respectively. Elderly GC patients with pStage III and ASA3 exhibited uniquely dismal prognosis (p < 0.001); however, several survivors were still confirmed. Postoperative complications (PCs) were only the final remnant independent prognostic factor (p = 0.020) among the 33 elderly GC patients with ASA3, where dead patients included cancer-specific and other deaths, especially pneumonia. PCs were independently associated with prognostic nutritional index (PNI) (< 42.7) in elderly GC patients, and the most frequent complication was pneumonia, which was significantly associated with ASA3 and marginally associated with PNI in a multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS ASA3 has a dismal prognosis after curative gastrectomy in the elderly GC patients, but the number of survivors was confirmed. Curative gastrectomy is not considered contraindicated even in elderly GC with ASA3. Preoperative malnutrition is associated with PCs, which proposing preoperative nutritional intervention in the context of treatment strategy for the elderly GC patients with ASA3.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study intends to appraise the feasibility of double sleeve lobectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in central non-small-cell lung cancer with bronchovascular aggression. METHODS This retrospective study included non-small-cell lung cancer patients who received double sleeve lobectomy from January 2014 to June 2020. Patients were divided into 2 groups: the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group and the non-neoadjuvant chemotherapy group. Demographic data and perioperative outcomes were compared between these 2 groups. RESULTS Of the 110 patients who received double sleeve lobectomy during this period, 35 patients (31.8%) received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Compared with the non-neoadjuvant chemotherapy group, patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy were associated with younger age (P = 0.026), smaller pathologic tumour size (P = 0.005), higher forced expiratory volume in 1 s (P = 0.007), higher forced expiratory volume in 1 s of predicted value (P = 0.005) and higher clinical stage (P < 0.001). In the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group, 18 patients (51.4%) attained a partial response and 17 patients (48.6%) achieved stable disease. The postoperative hospital stays (P = 0.042) and chest tube drainage duration (P = 0.030) were longer in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group and other perioperative performances were similar between these 2 groups. No statistically significant difference was reported in postoperative complications and mortality between these 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS The intraoperative performance and postoperative outcomes of double sleeve lobectomy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy were similar to direct surgery, indicating that double sleeve lobectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is feasible and safe in central lung cancer involving both the pulmonary artery and bronchus.

Abstract
The incidental discovery of pre-clinical interstitial lung disease (ILD) has led to the designation of interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA), a radiological entity defined as the incidental finding of computed tomography (CT) abnormalities affecting more than 5% of any lung zone. Two recent documents have redefined the borders of this entity and made the recommendation to monitor patients with ILA at risk of progression. In this narrative review, we will focus on some of the limits of the current approach, underlying the potential for progression to full-blown ILD of some patients with ILA and the numerous links between subpleural fibrotic ILA and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Considering the large prevalence of ILA in the general population (7%), restricting monitoring only to cases considered at risk of progression appears a reasonable approach. However, this suggestion should not prevent pulmonary physicians from pursuing an early diagnosis of ILD and timely treatment where appropriate. In cases of suspected ILD, whether found incidentally or not, the pulmonary physician is still required to make a correct ILD diagnosis according to current guidelines, and eventually treat the patient accordingly. In patients with interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA), monitoring of those at risk of progression is currently recommended, and pulmonary physicians should pursue an early diagnosis when ILA become clinically significant to facilitate timely treatment https://bit.ly/3HKOQc8

Abstract
NIV (noninvasive ventilation) is becoming more popular as a first-line treatment for older patients with lung cancer who are experiencing acute respiratory failure. In the ICU, older age is linked to worse results with mechanical breathing. When dealing with severely sick patients, noninvasive ventilation is beneficial. Due to the risk of NIV failure and the higher mortality induced by delayed intubation, it is difficult to apply to older patients, especially those with lung cancer and respiratory insufficiency. As a result, for a successful outcome, nurse interventions should be provided to patients during noninvasive ventilation. This paper proposes the application of integrated perioperative nursing models on the elderly patients with lung cancer and respiratory failure. We have applied three nursing models: peer support nursing model, multidisciplinary cooperative nursing model, and transcultural nursing theory. The effect of the proposed nursing model on the efficacy of NIV is evaluated using the Logical Decision Tree Regression (LDTR) model. It is optimized using Iterative Fruit Fly Optimization Algorithm (IFOA). The performance of the suggested system is analysed, and it is observed that the patients showed better surgical outcomes when provided with the integrated nursing models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although frailty as a common geriatric syndrome is associated with postoperative complications, its relationship with postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) following pulmonary resections in elderly patients is unclear. AIMS To investigate the relationship between frailty and PPCs in elderly patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary resections and explore the effect of the addition of frailty assessment to PPC risk index and ASA on their predictive ability. METHODS In a prospective cohort study, we measured frailty status using the FRAIL scale in elderly patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary resections. Multivariate analysis was used to identify the relationship between frailty and PPCs. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to examine the predictive power of frailty and other assessment tools. RESULTS 227 patients were analyzed in the study. The prevalence of PPCs was 24.7%. Significant differences between patients with and without PPCs were observed in the following aspects: BMI, smoking, COPD, respiratory infection within the last month, FEV1/FVC ratio, creatinine, ASA, frailty and PPC risk index (p < 0.05, respectively). After adjusting for all covariates, frailty was significantly related to PPCs in elderly patients (odds ratio: 6.33, 95% confidence interval: 2.45-16.37). Combined with frailty assessment, the area under the curve for ASA class and PPC risk index was increased to 0.759 (95% CI 0.687-0.831) and 0.821 (95% CI 0.758-0.883). CONCLUSIONS Frailty was associated with PPCs in elderly patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary resections. Combined with the frailty assessment, the predictive power of the PPC risk index and ASA class was improved.

Abstract
Background To determine the populations who suitable for surgical treatment in elderly patients (age ≥ 75 y) with IA stage. Methods The clinical data of NSCLC patients diagnosed from 2010 to 2015 were collected from the SEER database and divided into surgery group (SG) and no-surgery groups (NSG). The confounders were balanced and differences in survival were compared between groups using PSM (Propensity score matching, PSM). Cox regression analysis was used to screen the independent factors that affect the Cancer-specific survival (CSS). The surgery group was defined as the patients who surgery-benefit and surgery-no benefit according to the median CSS of the no-surgery group, and then randomly divided into training and validation groups. A surgical benefit prediction model was constructed in the training and validation group. Finally, the model is evaluated using a variety of methods. Results A total of 7297 patients were included. Before PSM (SG: n = 3630; NSG: n = 3665) and after PSM (SG: n = 1725, NSG: n = 1725) confirmed that the CSS of the surgery group was longer than the no-surgery group (before PSM: 82 vs. 31 months, P < .0001; after PSM: 55 vs. 39 months, P < .0001). Independent prognostic factors included age, gender, race, marrital, tumor grade, histology, and surgery. In the surgery cohort after PSM, 1005 patients (58.27%) who survived for more than 39 months were defined as surgery beneficiaries, and the 720 patients (41.73%) were defined surgery-no beneficiaries. The surgery group was divided into training group 1207 (70%) and validation group 518 (30%). Independent prognostic factors were used to construct a prediction model. In training group (AUC = .678) and validation group (AUC = .622). Calibration curve and decision curve prove that the model has better performance. Conclusions This predictive model can well identify elderly patients with stage IA NSCLC who would benefit from surgery, thus providing a basis for clinical treatment decisions.

Abstract
Efforts to grasp the significance of radiologic changes similar to interstitial lung disease (ILD) in undiagnosed individuals have intensified in the recent decade. The term interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) is an emerging definition of such changes, defined by visual examination of computed tomography scans. Substantial insights have been made in the origins and clinical consequences of these changes, as well as automated measures of early lung fibrosis, which will likely lead to increased recognition of early fibrotic lung changes among clinicians and researchers alike. Interstitial lung abnormalities have an estimated prevalence of 7–10% in elderly populations. They correlate with many ILD risk factors, both epidemiologic and genetic. Additionally, histopathological similarities with IPF exist in those with ILA. While no established blood biomarker of ILA exists, several have been suggested. Distinct imaging patterns indicating advanced fibrosis correlate with worse clinical outcomes. ILA are also linked with adverse clinical outcomes such as increased mortality and risk of lung cancer. Progression of ILA has been noted in a significant portion of those with ILA and is associated with many of the same features as ILD, including advanced fibrosis. Those with ILA progression are at risk of accelerated FVC decline and increased mortality. Radiologic changes resembling ILD have also been attained by automated measures. Such measures associate with some, but not all the same factors as ILA. ILA and similar radiologic changes are in many ways analogous to ILD and likely represent a precursor of ILD in some cases. While warranting an evaluation for ILD, they are associated with poor clinical outcomes beyond possible ILD development and thus are by themselves a significant finding. Among the present objectives of this field are the stratification of patients with regards to progression and the discovery of biomarkers with predictive value for clinical outcomes.

Effect of intraoperative blood loss on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. TURK GOGUS KALP DAMAR CERRAHISI DERGISI-TURKISH JOURNAL OF THORACIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY 2021; 29:347-353.

Abstract
Background We aimed to investigate the impact of intraoperative blood loss on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy for nonsmall cell lung cancer. Methods Data of a total of 409 patients (227 males, 182 females; median age: 62 years; range, 20 to 86 years) who underwent lung resection for Stage I-IIIa non-small cell lung cancer in our clinic between July 2017 and April 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic analysis was used to confirm the threshold value of intraoperative blood loss for the prediction of postoperative pulmonary complications. Propensity score matching was performed to compare between high-intraoperative blood loss and low-intraoperative blood loss groups. A post-matching conditional logistic regression was conducted to determine the independent risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications. Results Of the patients, 86 (21.03%) developed postoperative pulmonary complications. In the propensity score matching analysis, intraoperative blood loss was shown to be a predictive factor of postoperative pulmonary complications (3.992; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.54-10.35; p=0.004). The rate of postoperative pulmonary complications in high-intraoperative blood loss group was significantly higher than that the low-intraoperative blood loss group (37.5% vs. 13.9%, respectively; p=0.003). The postoperative length of stay and duration of postoperative antibiotic use were significantly prolonged in the high-intraoperative blood loss group. Conclusion Intraoperative blood loss serves as a significant risk factor for postoperative pulmonary complications after lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer. Surgeons should strive to reduce intraoperative blood loss for better surgical outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose Identifying pretreatment interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) is important because of their predictive value for complications after lung cancer treatment. This study aimed to assess the predictive value of ILAs for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in elderly patients undergoing curative resection for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and Methods Elderly patients (age ≥ 70 years) who underwent curative resection for pathologic stage I or II NSCLC with normal preoperative spirometry results (pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 s to forced vital capacity [FVC] ratio > 0.70 and FVC ≥ 80% of the predicted value) between January 2012 and December 2019 were retrospectively identified. Univariable and multivariable regression analyses were performed to assess risk factors for PPCs. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to analyze the relationship between ILAs and postoperative mortality. One-way analysis of variance was performed to assess the correlation between ILAs and hospital stay duration. Results A total of 262 patients (median age, 73 [interquartile range, 71-76] years; 132 male) were evaluated. A multivariable logistic regression model revealed that, among several relevant risk factors, fibrotic ILAs independently predicted both overall PPCs (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 4.84; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.35-17.38; p=0.016) and major PPCs (adjusted OR, 8.72; 95% CI, 1.71-44.38; p=0.009). Fibrotic ILAs were significantly associated with higher postoperative mortality and longer hospital stay (F=5.21, p=0.006). Conclusion Pretreatment fibrotic ILAs are associated with PPCs, higher postoperative mortality, and longer hospital stay.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to analyze whether comorbidities impact postoperative complication rate or survival after anatomical lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods A retrospective analysis of 1219 patients who underwent NSCLC resection between 2000 and 2015 was performed. Analyzed comorbidities included chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), hypertension, coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral artery disease, myocardial infarction history, diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency and other malignancies. Results Most patients (78.9%) had comorbidities, most commonly hypertension (34.1%) followed by COPD (26.4%) and other malignancies (19%). The overall complication rate was 38.6% (26.4% pulmonary; 14.8% cardiac; and 3.0% gastrointestinal). Hypertension (odds ratio (OR) = 1.492, p = 0.031) was associated with more cardiac complications. Heavy smoking (OR = 1.008, p = 0.003) and low body mass index (BMI) (OR = 0.932, p < 0.001) affected the pulmonary complication rate significantly. None of the included comorbidities affected the overall complication rate or the survival negatively. However, the patient characteristics of advanced age (p < 0.001), low BMI (p = 0.008), and low FEV1 (p = 0.008) affected the overall complication rate as well as survival (each p < 0.001). Conclusion Advanced age, low BMI, and low FEV1 were predictive of greater complication risk and shorter long-term survival in patients who underwent NSCLC resection. Cardiac complications were associated with hypertension and CAD, whereas pulmonary complications were associated with a high pack year count.

Abstract
Objective: Investigate whether machine learning can predict pulmonary complications (PPCs) after emergency gastrointestinal surgery in patients with acute diffuse peritonitis. Methods: This is a secondary data analysis study. We use five machine learning algorithms (Logistic regression, DecisionTree, GradientBoosting, Xgbc, and gbm) to predict postoperative pulmonary complications. Results: Nine hundred and twenty-six cases were included in this study; 187 cases (20.19%) had PPCs. The five most important variables for the postoperative weight were preoperative albumin, cholesterol on the 3rd day after surgery, albumin on the day of surgery, platelet count on the 1st day after surgery and cholesterol count on the 1st day after surgery for pulmonary complications. In the test group: the logistic regression model shows AUC = 0.808, accuracy = 0.824 and precision = 0.621; Decision tree shows AUC = 0.702, accuracy = 0.795 and precision = 0.486; The GradientBoosting model shows AUC = 0.788, accuracy = 0.827 and precision = 1.000; The Xgbc model shows AUC = 0.784, accuracy = 0.806 and precision = 0.583. The Gbm model shows AUC = 0.814, accuracy = 0.806 and precision = 0.750. Conclusion: Machine learning algorithms can predict patients' PPCs with acute diffuse peritonitis. Moreover, the results of the importance matrix for the Gbdt algorithm model show that albumin, cholesterol, age, and platelets are the main variables that account for the highest pulmonary complication weights.

Abstract
The clinical importance of interstitial lung abnormality (ILA) is increasingly recognized. In July 2020, the Fleischner Society published a position paper about ILA. The purposes of this article are to summarize the definition, existing evidence, clinical management, and unresolved issues for ILA from a radiologic standpoint and to provide a practical guide for radiologists. ILA is a common incidental finding at CT and is often progressive and associated with worsened clinical outcomes. The hazard ratios for mortality range from 1.3 to 2.7 in large cohorts. Risk factors for ILA include age, smoking status, other inhalational exposures, and genetic factors (eg, gene encoding mucin 5B variant). Radiologists should systematically record the presence, morphologic characteristics, distribution, and subcategories of ILA (ie, nonsubpleural, subpleural nonfibrotic, and subpleural fibrotic), as these are informative for predicting progression and mortality. Clinically significant interstitial lung disease should not be considered ILA. Individuals with ILA are triaged into higher- and lower-risk groups depending on their risk factors for progression, and systematic follow-up, including CT, should be considered for the higher-risk group. Artificial intelligence-based automated analysis for ILA may be helpful, but further validation and improvement are needed. Radiologists have a central role in clinical management and research on ILA.

Abstract
The ACR Incidental Findings Committee presents recommendations for managing incidentally detected lung findings on thoracic CT. The Chest Subcommittee is composed of thoracic radiologists who endorsed and developed the provided guidance. These recommendations represent a combination of current published evidence and expert opinion and were finalized by informal iterative consensus. The recommendations address commonly encountered incidental findings in the lungs and are not intended to be a comprehensive review of all pulmonary incidental findings. The goal is to improve the quality of care by providing guidance on management of incidentally detected thoracic findings.

Abstract
Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is one of the most frequent complications following lung surgery. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for developing POP and the prognostic factors in lung cancer patients after lung resection.We performed a retrospective review of 726 patients who underwent surgery for stages I-III lung cancer at a single institution between August 2017 and July 2018 by conducting logistic regression analysis of the risk factors for POP. The Cox risk model was used to analyze the factors influencing the survival of patients with lung cancer.We identified 112 patients with POP. Important risk factors for POP included smoking (odds ratio [OR], 2.672; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.586-4.503; P < .001), diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (40-59 vs ≥80%, 4.328; 95% CI, 1.976-9.481; P < .001, <40 vs ≥80%, 4.725; 95% CI, 1.352-16.514; P = .015), and the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II score (OR, 2.304; 95% CI, 1.382-3.842; P = .001). In the Cox risk model, we observed that age (hazard ratios (HR), 1.633; 95% CI, 1.062-2.513; P = .026), smoking (HR, 1.670; 95% CI, 1.027-2.716; P = .039), POP (HR, 1.637; 95% CI, 1.030-2.600; P = .037), etc were predictor variables for patient survival among the factors examined in this study.The risk factors for POP and the predictive factors affecting overall survival (OS) should be taken into account for effective management of patients with lung cancer undergoing surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) can be detected on computed tomography (CT) in lung cancer patients and have an association with mortality in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the significance of ILA for mortality in patients with stage I NSCLC using Boston Lung Cancer Study cohort. METHODS Two hundred and thirty-one patients with stage I NSCLC from 2000 to 2011 were investigated in this retrospective study (median age, 69 years; 93 males, 138 females). ILA was scored on baseline CT scans prior to treatment using a 3-point scale (0 = no evidence of ILA, 1 = equivocal for ILA, 2 = ILA) by a sequential reading method. ILA score 2 was considered the presence of ILA. The difference of overall survival (OS) for patients with different ILA scores were tested via log-rank test and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) including ILA score, age, sex, smoking status, and treatment as the confounding variables. RESULTS ILA was present in 22 out of 231 patients (9.5%) with stage I NSCLC. The presence of ILA was associated with shorter OS (patients with ILA score 2, median 3.85 years [95% confidence interval (CI): 3.36 - not reached (NR)]; patients with ILA score 0 or 1, median 10.16 years [95%CI: 8.65 - NR]; P < 0.0001). In a Cox proportional hazards model, the presence of ILA remained significant for increased risk for death (HR = 2.88, P = 0.005) after adjusting for age, sex, smoking and treatment. CONCLUSIONS ILA was detected on CT in 9.5% of patients with stage I NSCLC. The presence of ILA was significantly associated with a shorter OS and could be an imaging marker of shorter survival in stage I NSCLC.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Quantification and optimization of perioperative risk factors focusing on anesthesia-related strategies to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after lung and esophageal surgery. RECENT FINDINGS There is an increasing amount of multimorbid patients undergoing thoracic surgery due to the demographic development and medical progress in perioperative medicine. Nevertheless, the rate of PPCs after thoracic surgery is still up to 30-50% with a significant influence on patients' outcome. PPCs are ranked first among the leading causes of early mortality after thoracic surgery. Although patients' risk factors are usually barely modifiable, current research focuses on procedural risk factors. From the surgical position, the minimal-invasive approach using video-assisted thoracoscopy and laparoscopy leads to a decreased rate of PPCs. The anesthesiological strategy to reduce the incidence of PPCs after thoracic surgery includes neuroaxial anesthesia, lung-protective ventilation, and goal-directed hemodynamic therapy. SUMMARY The main anesthesiological strategies to reduce PPCs after thoracic surgery include the use of epidural anesthesia, lung-protective ventilation: PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure) of 5-8 mbar, tidal volume of 5 ml/kg BW (body weight) and goal-directed hemodynamics: CI (cardiac index) ≥ 2.5 l/min per m2, MAD (Mean arterial pressure) ≥ 70 mmHg, SVV (stroke volume variation) < 10% with a total amount of perioperative crystalloid fluids ≤ 6 ml/kg BW (body weight) per hour.

Abstract
Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) are radiologic abnormalities found incidentally on chest CT that are potentially related to interstitial lung diseases. Several articles have reported that ILAs are associated with increased mortality, and they can show radiologic progression. With the increased recognition of ILAs on CT, the role of radiologists in reporting them is critical. This review aims to discuss the clinical significance and radiologic characteristics of ILAs to facilitate and enhance their management.

Abstract
A retrospective observational study using an oral bacteria counter was conducted to evaluate the trends in the number of oral bacteria in the perioperative period of lung cancer patients and to verify the relationship between oral health status and postoperative fever. All patients received perioperative oral management (POM) by oral specialists between April 2012 and December 2018 at Kagawa Prefectural Central Hospital, Kagawa, Japan prior to lung cancer surgery. Bacteria counts from the dorsum of the tongue were measured on the day of pre-hospitalization, pre-operation, and post-operation, and background data were also collected retrospectively. In total, 441 consecutive patients were enrolled in the study. Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test showed significantly higher oral bacteria counts at pre-hospitalization compared to pre- and post-operation (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that body mass index, performance status, number of housemates, number of teeth, and white blood cell count at pre-operation were significantly associated with postoperative fever. The study showed that POM can reduce the level of oral bacterial counts, that the risk of postoperative complications is lower with dentulous patients, and that appropriate POM is essential for prevent of complications. Therefore, POM may play an important role in perioperative management of lung cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative severe respiratory adverse events (SRAEs) are the major cause of perioperative morbidity in patients after thoracic surgery. In particular, SRAEs often occur in lung cancer patients concomitant with chronic inflammatory lung diseases (CILDs) such as interstitial lung disease, emphysema, infectious disease, and asthma. We aimed to clarify whether the measurement of the maximum of standardized uptake value in the noncancerous lung area (NCA-SUVmax) and CILDs on high-resolution computed tomography were useful for predicting the risk of SRAEs. METHODS A total of 984 patients with lung cancer undergoing preoperative computed tomography, F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography followed by surgery between July 2012 and March 2019 were assessed. NCA-SUVmax was measured using a 3-dimensional workstation. We extracted the records of patients with CILDs and their disease history. Predictive factors associated with SRAEs were identified. RESULTS SRAEs were observed in 75 patients (7.6%), and 7 patients (9.3%) died of SRAEs within 90 days after surgery. NCA-SUVmax in patients with CILDs (n = 325; emphysema = 161, interstitial lung disease = 134, infectious disease = 17, asthma = 13) were higher than that in patients without CILDs (n = 659; 1.3 ± 0.7 vs 1.1 ± 0.4, respectively; P < .001). On multivariate analysis, CILDs, percent vital capacity, and NCA-SUVmax were independently associated with SRAEs (P < .001). Rate of SRAEs in patients with CILDs, NCA-SUVmax ≥1.3, and percent vital capacity ≤ 110 was 31.8%. CONCLUSIONS NCA-SUVmax was independently associated with the incidence of SRAEs in patients with resected lung cancer and was significantly increased in patients with CILDs.

Abstract
The term interstitial lung abnormalities refers to specific CT findings that are potentially compatible with interstitial lung disease in patients without clinical suspicion of the disease. Interstitial lung abnormalities are increasingly recognised as a common feature on CT of the lung in older individuals, occurring in 4-9% of smokers and 2-7% of non-smokers. Identification of interstitial lung abnormalities will increase with implementation of lung cancer screening, along with increased use of CT for other diagnostic purposes. These abnormalities are associated with radiological progression, increased mortality, and the risk of complications from medical interventions, such as chemotherapy and surgery. Management requires distinguishing interstitial lung abnormalities that represent clinically significant interstitial lung disease from those that are subclinical. In particular, it is important to identify the subpleural fibrotic subtype, which is more likely to progress and to be associated with mortality. This multidisciplinary Position Paper by the Fleischner Society addresses important issues regarding interstitial lung abnormalities, including standardisation of the definition and terminology; predisposing risk factors; clinical outcomes; options for initial evaluation, monitoring, and management; the role of quantitative evaluation; and future research needs.

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2020; 162:321-330.e1. [PMID: 32713635 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2020.05.095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2019] [Revised: 04/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/02/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Thoracic surgery is associated with significant rates of postoperative morbidity and postdischarge return to the hospital or emergency department (ED). This study aims to assess the impact of a novel integrated patient-centered, hospital-based multidisciplinary community program (Integrated Comprehensive Care [ICC]) on postdischarge outcomes in patients undergoing thoracic surgery compared to routine care. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent surgical resection for lung malignancies at a tertiary care center from 2010 to 2014. Patients were divided into 2 cohorts based on their enrollment in the ICC program (intervention cohort; 2012-2014) or routine postoperative care (control cohort; 2010-2012). Propensity score matching was performed to match the 2 cohorts. The impact of the ICC program on postoperative length of stay (LOS), rate of ED visits, readmissions, and mortality within the first 60 days was assessed. RESULTS Of the 1288 patients included in this study, 658 (51.1%) were male patients with mean age of 64 years (standard deviation 14.1 years). After propensity score matching, 478 patients were enrolled in the ICC cohort and 592 were enrolled as controls. The ICC cohort had significantly shorter LOS (4 days, vs 5 days in controls, P = .001), lower rate of 60-day ED visits (9.8% vs 28.4% in controls, P < .001), and readmissions (6.9% vs 8.6% in controls, P < .001). The 60-day mortality was also significantly lower in the ICC cohort compared with the control group (0.6% vs 0.8% in controls, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS The ICC program is associated with shorter LOS, fewer ED visits and readmissions after discharge, and ultimately may decrease postoperative mortality.

Abstract
Background Intraoperative mechanical ventilation may influence postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Current practice during thoracic surgery is not well described. Methods This is a post-hoc analysis of the prospective multicenter cross-sectional LAS VEGAS study focusing on patients who underwent thoracic surgery. Consecutive adult patients receiving invasive ventilation during general anesthesia were included in a one-week period in 2013. Baseline characteristics, intraoperative and postoperative data were registered. PPCs were collected as composite endpoint until the 5th postoperative day. Patients were stratified into groups based on the use of one lung ventilation (OLV) or two lung ventilation (TLV), endoscopic vs. non-endoscopic approach and ARISCAT score risk for PPCs. Differences between subgroups were compared using χ2 or Fisher exact tests or Student’s t-test. Kaplan–Meier estimates of the cumulative probability of development of PPC and hospital discharge were performed. Cox-proportional hazard models without adjustment for covariates were used to assess the effect of the subgroups on outcome. Results From 10,520 patients enrolled in the LAS VEGAS study, 302 patients underwent thoracic procedures and were analyzed. There were no differences in patient characteristics between OLV vs. TLV, or endoscopic vs. open surgery. Patients received VT of 7.4 ± 1.6 mL/kg, a PEEP of 3.5 ± 2.4 cmH2O, and driving pressure of 14.4 ± 4.6 cmH2O. Compared with TLV, patients receiving OLV had lower VT and higher peak, plateau and driving pressures, higher PEEP and respiratory rate, and received more recruitment maneuvers. There was no difference in the incidence of PPCs in OLV vs. TLV or in endoscopic vs. open procedures. Patients at high risk had a higher incidence of PPCs compared with patients at low risk (48.1% vs. 28.9%; hazard ratio, 1.95; 95% CI 1.05–3.61; p = 0.033). There was no difference in the incidence of severe PPCs. The in-hospital length of stay (LOS) was longer in patients who developed PPCs. Patients undergoing OLV, endoscopic procedures and at low risk for PPC had shorter LOS. Conclusion PPCs occurred frequently and prolonged hospital LOS following thoracic surgery. Proportionally large tidal volumes and high driving pressure were commonly used in this sub-population. However, large RCTs are needed to confirm these findings. Trial registration This trial was prospectively registered at the Clinical Trial Register (www.clinicaltrials.gov; NCT01601223; registered May 17, 2012.)
