Key Points

  • The study aims to explore the relationship between chronic high-altitude exposure and postoperative pulmonary complications following surgery.
  • Retrospective cohort study design
  • Analysis of postoperative complications occurring within 30 days after surgery
  • Assessment of high-altitude exposure durations
  • Association found between chronic high-altitude exposure and the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications within 30 days
  • Uncertainty in exposure duration indicates the necessity for further prospective studies to confirm causality

Abstract

This retrospective study suggests an association between CHAE and PPCs within 30 days after surgery. However, the undefined exposure duration highlight the need for prospective studies to definitively establish causality.
