Postoperative arrhythmias in geriatric lung cancer patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery: an exploration of prevalence and influencing factors.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundArrhythmias are a frequent complication in the postoperative period following surgical procedures. This study aims to investigate the incidence and contributing factors of arrhythmias in elderly patients with lung cancer who have undergone thoracoscopic surgery, thereby providing scientific evidence to support clinical treatment and nursing care.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included elderly patients diagnosed with lung cancer who underwent treatment at our hospital between June 1, 2022, and October 31, 2024. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the development of postoperative arrhythmias following thoracoscopic surgery: the arrhythmia group and the non-arrhythmia group. A comparative analysis of the clinical data was conducted between these two groups.
resultsA total of 208 patients were enrolled, with an incidence of postoperative arrhythmias of 19.71% (41/208). Logistic regression analysis identified age ≥ 70 years (OR = 2.586, 95% CI: 1.805-3.221), hypertension (OR = 2.761, 95% CI: 2.103-3.588), history of smoking (OR = 2.070, 95% CI: 1.741-2.446), TNM stage II (OR = 3.181, 95% CI: 2.842-3.690), postoperative pulmonary infection (OR = 2.122, 95% CI: 1.836-2.690), and postoperative constipation (OR = 2.495, 95% CI: 1.988-3.072) as independent risk factors for postoperative arrhythmias (all p < 0.05).
conclusionThe incidence of postoperative arrhythmias in elderly patients with lung cancer following thoracoscopic surgery is relatively high. Targeted interventions addressing the identified risk factors are essential to mitigate the risk of postoperative arrhythmias.
