Prognostic value of the ARISCAT score for postoperative pneumonia in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective cohort study
The ARISCAT score is an independent and robust predictor of postoperative pneumonia in ESCC patients undergoing McKeown esophagectomy. This study represents the first comprehensive evaluation of the ARISCAT score in an ESCC-specific surgical cohort, and uniquely demonstrates that its integration with inflammatory (LMR) and nutritional (PNI) markers significantly enhances preoperative risk stratification. These findings offer valuable clinical insights for personalized perioperative management.
