Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation between the muscle mass loss and severe postoperative pulmonary complications(PPC)in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods:Elderly patients with NSCLC undergoing lobectomy at the Lung Cancer Institute and the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were recruited from Feb.2019 to Dec.2019.Data of the body composition, lung function, respiratory muscle strength test, cardiopulmonary exercise test were collected before operation.All patients were grouped into two groups: with versus without severe PPC at 30 d after operation.The differences of the above parameters were compared between the two groups.A multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for severe PPC.Results:In this study, 120 elderly NSCLC patients undergoing lobectomy were recruited, All evaluations were completed in 113 patients(aged 68.13±7.01 years)in whom, 21(18.58%, 21/113)patients had serious PPC.Compared with patients without PPC, patients with severe PPC had a lower appendicular skeletal muscle mass index(ASMI)(5.67±0.90 kg/m 2vs.7.71±1.40 kg/m 2, t=3.900, P=0.001), a lower forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV 1)(1.85±0.40 L vs.2.12±0.57 L, t=2.412, P=0.027), a lower maximal mid-expiratory flow(MMF)(1.40±0.69 L/s vs.2.11±1.09 L/s, t=2.502, P=0.021), a lower maximum inspiratory pressure(Pimax)(55.13±32.52 cmH 2O vs.64.71±20.60, t=0.778, P=0.047, 1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa), a lower maximal oxygen consumption(Vo 2max)(1.14±0.41 L/min vs.1.40±0.34 L/min, t=0.779, P=0.046), a lower peak O 2 consumption(Vo 2max@kg)(20.00±1.91 L·min -1·kg -1vs.22.33±2.37 L·min -1·kg -1, t=0.813, P=0.041). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that in addition to FEV 1( OR=2.824, 95% CI: 1.127-5.158, P=0.001)and Vo 2max@kg( OR=3.149, 95%CI: 1.829-6.592, P<0.001), ASMI was also an independent risk factor for serious PPC( OR=1.919, 95% CI: 1.604-3.466, P=0.006), in which the best cut-off value was 6.295 kg/m 2, the sensitivity and specificity were 0.816 and 0.818 respectively, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC)was 0.887(95% CI: 0.793-0.981, P<0.0001). Conclusions:Muscle mass loss can increase the risk for the occurrence of severe PPC within 30 days after lobectomy in elderly patients with NSCLC.
