Putative risk factors for postoperative pneumonia which affects poor prognosis in patients with gastric cancer

Background and objectives Several recent studies identified that postoperative infectious complications contribute to recurrence and poor outcome in patients with gastric cancer. This study was designed to investigate the prognostic impact of postoperative pneumonia, and to identify the putative ris...

Zusammenfassung:Background and objectives Several recent studies identified that postoperative infectious complications contribute to recurrence and poor outcome in patients with gastric cancer. This study was designed to investigate the prognostic impact of postoperative pneumonia, and to identify the putative risk factors for its occurrence. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 1,415 consecutive patients who underwent curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer between 1997 and 2013. Results A total of 31 (2.2 %) patients developed postoperative pneumonia (Clavien–Dindo classification ≥II). Patients with postoperative pneumonia showed a significantly poorer prognosis than patients without ( P
