A nomogram predicting the risk of postoperative pneumonia after esophagectomy in esophageal carcinoma
This study developed an intuitive nomogram model to predict postoperative pneumonia in esophageal cancer patients based on age, smoking history, DLET, CIIA, and vasoactive medication usage. Proper anesthesia, ETT type, smoking cessation, and timely vasoactive medication use can lower risks. Further external validation and large-scale studies are needed.
