Patient-Based and Surgical Risk Factors for 30-Day Postoperative Complications and Mortality After Ankle Fracture Fixation.

TL;DR: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease increased the risk of mortality after ankle fracture ORIF and risk factors for postoperative complications included peripheral vascular disease, open wound, nonclean wound classification, age 70 years or older, and ASA classification ≥3.

Prevalence of and risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications after lung cancer surgery in patients with early-stage COPD.

TL;DR: In patients with early-stage COPD, the prevalence of PPCs is higher than in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer with normal spirometry, however, this rate is not different between group A and group B patients with COPD.

Effects of steep Trendelenburg position for robotic-assisted prostatectomies on intra- and extrathoracic airways in patients with or without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

TL;DR: Robotic-assisted prostatectomy in the steep Trendelenburg position led to an increase in upper airway resistance directly after surgery that normalized within 24 h, and the development of chemosis can be indicative of increased upperAirway resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictors of 30-day acute kidney injury following radical and partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma.

TL;DR: Assessment of preoperative kidney function and comorbidity status is essential to identify patients at risk of postoperative AKI, and neurovascular disease, obesity, and surgical approach (RN or open) represent predictors of 30-day AKI.

Surgical outcomes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease undergoing abdominal operations: An analysis of 331,425 patients

TL;DR: Patients with COPD undergoing operative procedures in the abdomen have increased morbidity, mortality, and duration of stay, and this study highlights the importance of studying potential preoperative optimization of pulmonary status before operation.

Systemic manifestations and comorbidities of COPD

TL;DR: Treatment of COPD inflammation may concomitantly treat systemic inflammation and associated comorbidities, however, new broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory treatments, such as phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors, have significant side-effects so it may be necessary to develop inhaled drugs in the future.

Global burden of COPD: systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to quantify the global prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by means of a systematic review and random effects meta-analysis and population-based prevalence estimates published during the period 1990–2004.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic value of nutritional status in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

TL;DR: It is concluded that low BMI is an independent risk factor for mortality inSubjects with COPD, and that the association is strongest in subjects with severe COPD.

The Relationship Between Reduced Lung Function and Cardiovascular Mortality: A Population-Based Study and a Systematic Review of the Literature

TL;DR: There is strong epidemiologic evidence to indicate that reduced FEV1 is a marker for cardiovascular mortality independent of age, gender, and smoking history.
