Institution: Univeristy Hospital of Geelong - VIC, Australia
This Case series aimed to review all thoracic cases operated in the department of Thoracic surgery (University of ..) . A total of 169 participants were enrolled in this study whom age range from (23-86 years old) with mean ±, SD (66.5 ±, 10.4), 51.5 % of them are females and 48.5% of them are males. Among all sites of resection Upper lobectomy is the most common site representing 45% of all other sites. Those who lived among the studied participants are 92.3%, the most common tumor presented is Adenocarcinoma 50.7% According to the CT the most prevalent type is 1b type. All details are presented in table (1, 2). A highly statistically significant correlation was detected between different tumor types and Preoperative diagnosis and tumor differentiation where p value is less than 0.05 using Chi square test (Table 4). Age and gender were not statistically different among different tumor types.
A statistically significant difference was detected between different tumor types and the length of procedure using ANOVA test p value < 0.05 at two tailed test (Table 5)
ICC removed is positively directly correlated with LOS and tumor size, LOS is positively correlated with tumor size, CN is directly correlated with the length of procedure, and tumor size. Length of the procedure is directly correlated with tumor size.
Tumor size was found to be positively directly correlated with ICC removed, LOS, CN and length of the procedure using Karl Pearson’s correlation (2 tailed test). Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (Table 6)
All data were collected, analyzed using SPSS version 21, (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 21.0. Armonk, NY: USA). Categorical data were analyzed using frequency tables and percentage, Quantitative data as Age, tumor size, number of ports, LOS, length of procedure were represented by range and mean,
