Risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications in esophageal cancer: focus on inflammatory markers
Clinical parameters and inflammatory biomarkers are identified as independent risk factors for PPCs in EC patients. Higher LMR is a protective factor for PPCs, while postoperative ICU admission, higher eosinophil counts, intraoperative pleural metastases, and postoperative anastomotic leaks are risk factors. In order to lower the incidence of PPC, these results offer a theoretical foundation for clinical risk classification and focused preventive measures.
