Brief Summary  

59 out of 1170 patients developed postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs).

Univariate analysis showed that the presence of anemia  (hemoglobin < 10 gm%) ,  positive cough test, type of surgery as emergency surgery, type of anesthesia as general anaesthesia , increased duration of surgery (> 2 hours),  presence of preoperative nasogastric tube, intraoperative blood transfusion, higher patient age (>50 years), presence of preoperative respiratory symptoms (cough, sputum, dyspnea)  and increased ARISCAT score were significantly associated with the presence of postoperative pulmonary complications.

Multivariate analysis revealed that higher ARISCAT score and patients with higher age had higher odds of developing PPC. Patients who had positive cough test and presence of preoperative  nasogastric tube were other independent risk factors associated with the presence of PPC.
