Table 5. Comparison of pulmonary function between SS ≤5 vs. SS ≥6 groups.
| Pulmonary function | SS ≤5 (n=32) | SS ≥6 (n=24) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| FVC (%) | |||
| Baseline | 101 (65.0, 136) | 99.2 (70.7, 115) | 0.46 |
| Postoperatively | 93.4 (44.5, 127) | 84.8 (56.4, 112) | 0.23 |
| Change from baseline | −11.0 (−50.8, 15.3) | −9.50 (−36.5, 6.30) | 0.60 |
| FEV1 (%) | |||
| Baseline | 95.2 (51.4, 127) | 89.2 (67.2, 119) | 0.47 |
| After surgery | 87.3 (41.5, 122) | 73.1 (45.5, 105) | 0.29 |
| Change from baseline | −7.95 (−26.0, 11.3) | −9.75 (−29.3, 11.8) | 0.28 |
Data are expressed as median (range). FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FVC, forced vital capacity; SS, subsegments.
