<p><strong>Importance: </strong>Physical biomarkers for stratifying patients with lung cancer into subtypes suggestive of outcomes are underexplored.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To investigate the clinical utility of respiratory sarcopenia for optimizing postoperative risk stratification in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).</p><p><strong>Design, setting, and participants: </strong>This retrospective cohort study reviewed consecutive patients undergoing lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection for NSCLC at 2 institutions in Tokyo, Japan, between 2009 and 2018. Eligible patients underwent electronic computed tomography image analysis. Follow-up began at the date of surgery and continued until death, the last contact, or March 2022. Data analysis was performed from April 2022 to March 2023.</p><p><strong>Main outcomes and measures: </strong>Respiratory sarcopenia was identified by poor respiratory strength (peak expiratory flow rate) and was confirmed by a low pectoralis muscle index (PMI; pectoralis muscle area/body mass index). Patients with poor peak expiratory flow rate but normal PMI received a diagnosis of pre-respiratory sarcopenia. Short-term and long-term postoperative outcomes were compared among patients with a normal status, pre-respiratory sarcopenia, and respiratory sarcopenia. Group differences were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Pearson χ2 test for continuous and categorical data, respectively. Survival differences were compared using the log-rank test. Univariable and multivariable analyses were conducted using the Cox proportional hazards model.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of a total of 1016 patients, 806 (497 men [61.7%]; median [IQR] age, 69 [64-76] years) were eligible for electronic computed tomography image analysis. The median (IQR) duration of follow-up for survival was 5.2 (3.6-6.4) years. Respiratory strength was more closely correlated with PMI than pectoralis muscle radiodensity (Pearson r2, 0.58 vs 0.29). Respiratory strength and PMI declined with aging simultaneously (both P for trend < .001). Pre-respiratory sarcopenia was present in 177 patients (22.0%), and respiratory sarcopenia was present in 130 patients (16.1%). The risk of postoperative complications escalated from 82 patients (16.4%) with normal status to 39 patients (22.0%) with pre-respiratory sarcopenia to 39 patients (30.0%) with respiratory sarcopenia (P for trend < .001), as did the risk of delayed recovery after surgery (P for trend < .001). Compared with patients with normal status or pre-respiratory sarcopenia, patients with respiratory sarcopenia exhibited worse 5-year overall survival (438 patients [87.2%] vs 133 patients [72.9%] vs 85 patients [62.5%]; P for trend < .001). Multivariable analysis identified respiratory sarcopenia as a factor independently associated with increased risk of mortality (hazard ratio, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.15-2.89; P = .01) after adjustment for sex, age, smoking status, performance

Compared with patients without a prior NSTEMI, patients with an NSTEMI within 30 days of elective surgery had higher odds of MACCE, regardless of whether they had undergone coronary revascularization (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.15; 95% CI, 1.09-4.23; P = .03) or not (aOR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.31-3.16; P = .001). The odds of postoperative MACCE leveled off after 30 days in patients who had undergone any coronary revascularization procedure (and after 90 days in patients with drug-eluting stents) and then increased after 180 days (any revascularization at 181-365 days: aOR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.25-1.71; P < .001; patients with drug-eluting stents at 181-365 days: aOR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.42-2.12; P < .001). The odds of MACCE did not level off for patients who did not have revascularization.
