BACKGROUND: To identify risk variables leading to early postoperative pulmonary complication (POPC) in thoracic and upper abdominal surgery. METHODS: 297 patients submitted to elective surgery were classified as low, moderate and high risk for POPC using PORT scale, following Torrington & Henderson (1988). The patients were followed up for 72 hours postoperative. POPC were defined as atelectasis, pneumonia, tracheobronchitis, wheezing, prolonged intubation and/or prolonged mechanical ventilation. Univariate analysis was applied to study these independent variables: type of surgery, age, nutritional status (BMI), respiratory disease, smoking habit, spirometry and surgical time. Multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed in orde...
