OBJECTIVE: To investigate associations between preoperative variables and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) in elective upper abdominal surgery. DESIGN: Prospective clinical trial. SETTING: A tertiary university hospital. PATIENTS: 408 patients were prospectively analyzed during the preoperative period and followed up postoperatively for pulmonary complications. MEASUREMENTS: Patient characteristics, with clinical and physical evaluation, related diseases, smoking habits, and duration of surgery. Preoperative pulmonary function tests (PFT) were performed on 247 patients. RESULTS: The postoperative pulmonary complication rate was 14 percent. The significant predictors in univariate analyses of postoperative pulmonary complications ...
