TABLE 3.
Best predictors of post-operative complications based on the multivariable regression model.
| Parameters | OR | 95% CI |
|---|---|---|
| Peripheral artery disease | 1.90 | 1.08 to 3.37 |
| Bilobectomy (vs. sublobar) | 3.44 | 1.20 to 9.85 |
| Pneumonectomy (vs. sublobar) | 10.32 | 3.29 to 32.35 |
| Preoperative FEV1 (% predicted) | 0.98 | 0.97 to 1.00 |
| Peak (ml⋅kg−1⋅min−1) | 0.92 | 0.86 to 0.98 |
| Peak / | 1.04 | 1.01 to 1.07 |
Definitions of abbreviations: OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; FEV1 = maximal forced expiratory volume in 1 s; Peak = oxygen uptake at peak exercise; Peak = ventilation at peak exercise; = carbon dioxide excretion at peak exercise.
