The analysis of postoperative wound healing, infection risk prediction, and nursing intervention strategies for elderly patients with lung cancer
Age, comorbidities (particularly Charlson Comorbidity Index of 5.57 versus 4.92), and advanced cancer stage were significant predictors of poor wound healing. Early mobilization (85.28% versus 70.75%), nutritional support, pain management, and antibiotic prophylaxis demonstrated protective effects against poor wound healing and infection in elderly lung cancer patients.
