Abstract Objectives Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) significantly impact surgical outcome, but the clinical usefulness of various models used to predict PPCs is questionable. The controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score reflects nutritional deficiency and inflammation and is used to predict clinical outcomes in various malignancies. We aimed to investigate the ability of the CONUT score to predict PPCs after lung resection in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods We retrospectively reviewed data of 922 patients with NSCLC who underwent complete resection at Severance Hospital in South Korea during January 2016–December 2017. We analyzed the predictability of the CONUT score for PPCs compared with other inflammatory prognostic markers and PPCs risk scoring systems (prognostic nutritional index [PNI], Glasgow prognostic score [GPS], and assessment of respiratory risk in surgical patients in Catalonia [ARISCAT] score) using receiver operating characteristic curves analysis. Results Of 922 study subjects, 522 (56.6%) were male; the mean age was 64.2 years. Lobectomy was the most common type of operation (n = 737, 79.9%). Total incidence of PPCs was 8.6% (n = 79). Prolonged air leak (44.3%) was the most common PPC, followed by pneumonia (32.9%) and pneumothorax (11.4%). The proportion of pneumonia was significantly larger in the high CONUT group (P < 0.05). The CONUT consistently had a higher area under curve (AUC) value (0.64) than other prognostic models (PNI: AUC = 0.61, GPS: AUC = 0.57, and ARISCAT: AUC = 0.54). Multivariate analysis identified male sex (odds ratio [OR] = 1.94), low body mass index (OR = 4.57), and high CONUT score (OR = 1.91) as independent PPCs prognostic factors. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a significantly higher 1-year mortality rate for the high CONUT group (hazard ratio = 7.97; 95% confidence interval, 1.78–35.59). Conclusions Preoperative CONUT score is an independent predictor of PPCs and 1-year mortality in patients with NSCLC. Funding Sources None.

Abstract Background and objective This study aims to evaluate the impact of diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLco) before and after neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) on postoperative pulmonary complication (PPC) among stage IIIA/N2 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods We retrospectively studied 324 patients with stage IIIA/N2 NSCLC between 2009 and 2016. Patients were classified into 4 groups according to DLco before and after neoadjuvant CCRT; normal-to-normal (NN), normal-to-low (NL), low-to-low (LL), and low-to-very low (LVL). Low DLco and very low DLco were defined as DLco < 80% predicted and DLco < 60% predicted, respectively. Results On average, DLco was decreased by 12.3% (±10.5) after CCRT. In multivariable-adjusted analyses, the incidence rate ratio (IRR) for any PPC comparing patients with low DLco to those with normal DLco before CCRT was 2.14 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.36–3.36). Moreover, the IRR for any PPC was 3.78 (95% CI = 1.68–8.49) in LVL group compared to NN group. The significant change of DLco after neoadjuvant CCRT had an additional impact on PPC, particularly after bilobectomy or pneumonectomy with low baseline DLco. Conclusions The DLco before CCRT was significantly associated with risk of PPC, and repeated test of DLco after CCRT would be helpful for risk assessment, particularly in patients with low DLco before neoadjuvant CCRT.

This randomized, prospective, placebo-controlled clinical trial compares the influence on nutritional status and survival of hydrazine sulfate with placebo addition to cisplatin-containing combination chemotherapy in patients with unresectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The trial consisted of 65 patients with advanced, unresectable NSCLC who had had no prior chemotherapy, were at least partially ambulatory (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG] performance status [PS] level 0-2), and who had adequate hematologic, renal, and hepatic function. All patients received the same defined combination chemotherapy (cisplatin, vinblastine, and bleomycin) and the same defined dietary counseling with the addition of either three times daily oral hydrazine sulfate (60 mg) or placebo capsules. Hydrazine sulfate compared with placebo addition to chemotherapy resulted in significantly greater caloric intake and albumin maintenance (P less than .05). Considering all patients, survival was greater for the hydrazine sulfate compared with placebo group (median survival, 292 v 187 days), but the difference did not achieve statistical significance. In favorable PS patients (PS 0-1), survival was significantly prolonged (median survival, 328 days v 209 days; P less than .05) for hydrazine sulfate compared with placebo addition. In a multifactor analysis, PS, weight loss, and liver involvement were the final variables. Objective response frequency and toxicity were comparable on both arms. Hydrazine sulfate may favorably influence nutritional status and clinical outcome of patients with NSCLC. Further definitive studies of hydrazine sulfate addition to therapeutic regimens in NSCLC are warranted.

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.
