Index of prolonged air leak score validation in case of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery anatomical lung resection: results of a nationwide study based on the French national thoracic database, EPITHOR

Abstract: The IPAL score is valid for the estimation of the predictive risk of PAL after VATS lung resections. It may thus a priori be used to characterize any surgical population submitted to potential preventive measures.

“…They identified numerous preoperative variables linked with PAL, demonstrating their multifactorial etiology. We focused on two models, which has been specifically developed for VATS lobectomy . ESTS identifies three main factors affecting the risk of PAL: male gender, FEV1 < 80%, and body mass index less than 18.5 kg/m 2 .…”

“…IPAL score = gender (female = 0, male = 4) − (BMI‐24) + (2 × MRC) + type of resection (in this case 7 for lobectomy) + location (upper = 4, middle or lower = 0) + adhesions (yes = 4).…”

“…PALs is one of the most common postoperative complication in patients that have undergone VAT pulmonary resections and is a main factor leading to prolonged hospitalizations; 13 the PAL incidence has been reported to be 6-15% after lobectomy surgeries. 14,15 PAL risk factors include male sex, 16 preoperative pulmonary dysfunction, presence of pleural adhesions, and poorly developed fissures; whether an association exists between the PALs and the endoscopic stapler used is unclear.…”
