Abstrakt: Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 can lead to chronic lung damage and respiratory issues, potentially increasing surgical difficulty and risk for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the impacts of a COVID-19 history on early outcomes in NSCLC patients remain controversial. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of COVID-19 history on early outcomes in NSCLC patients and identify high-risk groups undergoing radical resection based on the largest Chinese multi-center real-world data to date. Design: Multi-center retrospective cohort study. Methods: NSCLC patients with (POCVD group) or without (NCVD group) a history of COVID-19 who underwent radical surgery at six institutions from January 2022 to January 2024 were retrospectively reviewed from a prospectively maintained database. Propensity-score matching (PSM) was utilized to minimize patient selection bias. Results: Out of 7932 cases included, PSM resulted in 3021 cases per group. The two groups were comparable regarding the proportion of male patients (52.0% vs 51.6%) and those aged ⩾70 years (13.3% vs 13.8%). Although the two groups had comparable incidences of complications with Clavien-Dindo grades ⩾II (13.0% vs 14.4%, p = 0.117), the POCVD group had longer surgical durations (120.87 ± 40.23 min vs 110.74 ± 38.76 min, mean difference (95% confidence interval (CI) = 10.13 (8.138–12.122)) and higher rates of respiratory complications than the NCVD group. Subgroup logistic regression analysis indicated that patients aged ⩾70 years (odds ratio (OR) (95% CI) = 1.322 (1.022–1.876)) and those with a smoking history (OR (95% CI) = 1.235 (1.008–1.543)) had an increased risk of developing complications with Clavien-Dindo grades ⩾II. Further analysis confirmed that these high-risk patients experienced extended surgical durations, longer chest tube drainage, and prolonged postoperative hospital stay, along with increased postoperative respiratory complications following COVID-19. Conclusion: Generally, radical resection is safe for NSCLC patients with a COVID-19 history. However, these patients experienced prolonged surgical durations and a higher incidence of postoperative respiratory complications compared to those without a COVID-19 history. In addition, individuals aged ⩾70 years or with a smoking history faced elevated surgical risks following COVID-19. Plain language summary: Analyzing the impact of COVID-19 history on early outcomes and identifying high-risk groups among non-small cell lung cancer patients undergoing radical resection Aim and Purpose Research Question: Does a COVID-19 history affect the early outcomes of radical surgery (lobectomy/bi-lobectomy/pneumectomy) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)? Hypothesis: Patients with a COVID-19 history face elevated surgical risks compared to those without. Objective: To understand how past COVID-19 infection impacts early outcomes in NSCLC patients undergoing surgery and to identify high-risk groups. Background Why This Study: COVID-19 can cause long-term lung damage, making surgery riskier for NSCLC. However, it's unclear how past COVID-19 infection affects NSCLC patients receiving surgery. Importance: The research helps to understand the additional risks for NSCLC patients with a COVID-19 history based on the largest cohort to date, aiming to improve their surgical outcomes. Method and Design Research Design: Multi-center retrospective cohort study. Methods and Participants: 7932 NSCLC patients undergoing radical surgery between January 2022 and January 2024 were included and divided into two groups: those with a COVID-19 history (POCVD group) and those without (NCVD group). Result and Importance Findings: 1. The POCVD group had longer surgical durations and higher rates of respiratory complications compared to the NCVD group. 2. The POCVD and NCVD groups were associated with a comparable incidence of postoperative complications with Clavien-Dindo grades ⩾II. 3. The elderly (aged ⩾70 years) and smokers were at higher risk for complications post-COVID-19. Implications: While surgery is generally safe for NSCLC patients with a COVID-19 history, they do face increased risks and complications. This highlights the need for special care and monitoring for older patients and those with smoking histories. Key Message: NSCLC patients with a COVID-19 history can safely undergo radical surgery, but they may experience longer surgical durations and more postoperative respiratory complications, especially the elderly and smokers.
