Log odds of positive lymph nodes compared to positive lymph node ratio and number of positive lymph nodes in prognostic modeling for patients with NSCLC undergoing lobectomy or total pneumonectomy: a population-based study using Cox regression and XGBoost with SHAP analysis by Qiming Huang, Shai Chen, Zhenjie Li, Longren Wu, Dongliang Yu, Linmin Xiong

“…The SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) analysis of the XGBoost model demonstrated that the LODDS exhibited the highest SHAP values (0.25) for predicting overall survival in patients, consistently outperforming the LNR and the number of nPLN across both training and validation datasets.ConclusionsCompared to the nPLN and LNR staging systems, LODDS demonstrates superior prognostic power for patients with stage I–IIIA NSCLC undergoing lobectomy or pneumonectomy. By integrating both positive and negative lymph node information, LODDS offers a refined risk stratification that is particularly valuable in cases with high lymph node heterogeneity.…”

Supraventricular Arrhythmias after Thoracotomy: Is There a Role for Autonomic Imbalance? by George Vretzakis, Marina Simeoforidou, Konstantinos Stamoulis, Metaxia Bareka

“…Their incidence is probably related to the magnitude of the performed operative procedure, occurring more frequently after pneumonectomy than after lobectomy. Investigators believe that surgical factors (irritation of the atria per se or on the ground of chronic inflammation of aged atria), direct injury to the anatomic structure of the autonomic nervous system in the thoracic cavity, and postthoracotomy pain may contribute independently or in association with each other to the development of these arrhythmias. …”
