Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the incidence of postoperative cerebral infarction after curative lobectomy, its association with the type of lobectomy, and how postoperative new-onset arrhythmia contributes to postoperative cerebral infarction. METHODS The subjects of this analysis were 77,060 patients who underwent curative lobectomy for lung cancer between 2016 and 2018 according to the National Clinical Database. Incidences of postoperative cerebral infarction and postoperative new-onset arrhythmia were analyzed. Moreover, mediation analysis was performed to evaluate the causal pathway between postoperative new-onset arrhythmia and postoperative cerebral infarction. RESULTS Postoperative cerebral infarction occurred in 110 (0.7%) patients after left upper lobectomy and in 85 (0.7%) patients after left lower lobectomy. Left upper lobectomy and left lower lobectomy were associated with a higher likelihood of postoperative cerebral infarction than right lower lobectomy. Left upper lobectomy was the strongest independent predictor of postoperative new-onset arrhythmia. However, in the mediation analysis, the odds ratio for cerebral infarction did not change after the addition of the factor of postoperative new-onset arrhythmia. CONCLUSION Cerebral infarction occurred significantly more often not only after left upper lobectomy, but also after left lower lobectomy. Postoperative new-onset arrhythmia was less likely to be related to cerebral infarction after left upper lobectomy.
