“…A study of the clinical characteristics of LCNEC showed that age was an unfavorable prognostic factor and that survival rates were lower in older adults than in younger adults [ 22 ]. This was probably because young patients compared with elderly patients have better physical fitness, stronger immunity [ 23 ], and fewer complications after receiving treatment [ 24 ].…”

Objectives: Large cell lung carcinoma (LCLC) is generally poorly differentiated with a poor prognosis. This study aimed to explore the impact of chemotherapy on the prognosis of patients with stage Ⅱ-Ⅳ LCLC and to construct nomograms to predict overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Methods: Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was used to balance the effects of baseline characteristics. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the prognostic impact of chemotherapy on LCLC patients. Cox regression analysis was used to identify prognostic risk factors, and then nomograms were constructed and validated. Results: Overall, we identified 2532 patients with LCLC from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The chemotherapy group showed better OS and CSS compared to the non-/unknown chemotherapy group for stage II-IV LCLC patients (p < 0.05). Two nomograms were plotted based on the results of Cox regression analysis. The areas under the curves (AUCs) of 1-, 3-, and 5- years OS were 0.786, 0.824, and 0.837, and the AUCs of CSS were 0.785, 0.821, and 0.836. The calibration curves showed excellent agreement between the prediction and the actual observation, and the decision curve analysis (DCA) demonstrated good clinical utility. Conclusions: Chemotherapy could improve the prognosis among stage II-IV LCLC patients. In addition, the nomograms showed good predictive ability, which could be useful in making clinical decisions.

“…Age is a predisposing factor for the development of PPCs after lung resection surgery, and it has been recognized as an independent prognostic factor in relation to air leak [18]. Older patients are more likely to develop complications due to associated comorbidities or the ability of the body to respond to a stressful situation, such as surgery.…”

The Use of Fissios App© as a Complement to a Face-to-Face Respiratory Physiotherapy Program versus an Attendance-Only Face-to-Face Physiotherapy Program in Patients Scheduled for Thoracic Surgical Procedures Reduces the Risk of Developing Postoperative Pulmonary Complications—A Quasi-Experimental Study

Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) increase the hospital length of stay (LOS) and the cost of healthcare associated with surgical procedures. Strategies to reduce PPCs begin before surgery and continue in the postoperative period. Fissios App© is a smartphone application that contains perioperative medical advice and a structured respiratory physiotherapy program. The objective was to implement the use of this app in a group of patients scheduled for a thoracic surgical procedure and determine its efficacy in reducing PPCs. This was a quasi-experimental study in which all patients attended a face-to-face respiratory physiotherapy program, and the intervention group used Fissios App© as a complement. We prospectively recorded the postoperative evolution of both groups, analyzed the categorical differences and quantitative variables, and created a binary logistic regression model. We recruited 393 patients (131 intervention and 232 control). The intervention group had a lower incidence of PPCs (12.2% versus 24% in the control group, p = 0.006), a shorter LOS (a median of 3 days (IQR = 2–5) versus 4 days (IQR = 3–6, p = 0.001) in the control group), and a reduction in the risk of developing PPCs by 63.5% (OR: 0.365, 95% CI: 0.17–0.78). The use of Fissios App© improved the clinical outcomes after surgery and reduced the probability of developing PPCs.
