What is Factors Associated with Hospital Length of Stay and Adverse Events following Percutaneous Ablation of Lung Tumors about?
Purpose To explore the association between risk factors established in the surgical literature and hospital length of stay (HLOS), adverse events, and hospital readmission within 30 days after percutaneous image-guided thermal ablation of lung tumors. Materials and Methods This bi-institutional retrospective cohort study included 131 consecutive adult patients (67 men [51%]; median age, 65 years) with 180 primary or metastatic lung tumors treated in 131 sessions (74 cryoablation and 57 microwave ablation) from 2006 to 2019. Age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index, sex, performance status, smoking status, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), primary lung cancer versus pulmonary metastases, number of tumors treated per session, maximum axial tumor diameter, ablation modality, number of pleural punctures, anesthesia type, pulmonary artery–to–aorta ratio, lung densitometry, sarcopenia, and adipopenia were evaluated. Associations between risk factors and outcomes were assessed using univariable and multivariable generalized linear models. Results In univariable analysis, HLOS was associated with current smoking (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 4.54 [1.23–16.8]; P = .02), COPD (IRR,
