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

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients over 65 years of age
• Lung Cancer
• Patients undergoing thoracic surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

• Refusal to participate in the study
• Patients with a diagnosis of hematological malignancy
• Patients with missing data required for research
