The Effect of Nutritional Risk Parameters on Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Geriatric Thoracic Surgery Cases

May 26, 2023 updated by: Mustafa Özgür Cirik, Ankara Ataturk Sanatorium Training and Research Hospital

Evaluation of the Effect of Preoperative Nutritional Risk Parameters on Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Geriatric Patients Who Underwent Lung Resection for Malignancy, a Prospective Observational Study

Preoperative evaluation of nutritional status in geriatric patients with lung cancer and implementation of these practices in elective patients are very important in terms of reducing postoperative complications and accelerating hospital discharge. For this purpose, many nutritional assessments and measurements are used. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the relationship between preoperative nutritional status and postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing thoracic surgery for geriatric lung cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
FFMI - Fat-Free Mass Index
Time Frame: 24 hours
FFMI is an abbreviation for lean mass index. It defines the amount of your muscle mass relative to height and weight. The FFMI is part of the well-known and similar BMI family of body indexes. The effect of FFMI values on postoperative patient stay, intensive care unit stay, complications and postoperative mobilization time in lung cancer patients will be evaluated. Each patient will be evaluated by measuring the preoperative FFMI value 24 hours before.
24 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
BMI (Body Mass Index)
Time Frame: 24 hours
BMI is a measurement of a person's leanness or corpulence based on their height and weight, and is intended to quantify tissue mass. The effect of BMI values on postoperative patient stay, intensive care unit stay, complications and postoperative mobilization time in lung cancer patients will be evaluated. Each patient will be evaluated by measuring the preoperative BMI value 24 hours before.
