An observational study in Lung Cancer, Nutrition, Healthy and Postoperative Complications, sponsored by Ankara Ataturk Sanatorium Training and Research Hospital. Recruiting at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 65 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-06-06.
Sponsored by Ankara Ataturk Sanatorium Training and Research Hospital · Observational
Preoperative evaluation of nutritional status in geriatric patients with lung cancer and implementation of these practices in elective patients are very important in terms of reducing postoperative complications and accelerating hospital discharge. For this purpose, many nutritional assessments and measurements are used. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the relationship between preoperative nutritional status and postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing thoracic surgery for geriatric lung cancer.
1,233 studies on the registry are indexed under Postoperative Complications; 292 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 100 is below the median of 254 across 519 observational studies indexed under Postoperative Complications.

FFMI - Fat-Free Mass Index
FFMI is an abbreviation for lean mass index. It defines the amount of your muscle mass relative to height and weight. The FFMI is part of the well-known and similar BMI family of body indexes. The effect of FFMI values on postoperative patient stay, intensive care unit stay, complications and postoperative mobilization time in lung cancer patients will be evaluated. Each patient will be evaluated by measuring the preoperative FFMI value 24 hours before.
Time frame: 24 hours
BMI (Body Mass Index)
BMI is a measurement of a person's leanness or corpulence based on their height and weight, and is intended to quantify tissue mass. The effect of BMI values on postoperative patient stay, intensive care unit stay, complications and postoperative mobilization time in lung cancer patients will be evaluated. Each patient will be evaluated by measuring the preoperative BMI value 24 hours before.
Time frame: 24 hours
