abstract = {Background: Female gender has been associated with worse outcomes after cardiovascular surgery and critical illness. We investigated the effect of gender on perioperative outcomes following robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 282 consecutive patients who underwent robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy by one surgeon over 53 months. Perioperative outcomes and clinically significant intraoperative and postoperative complications, including respiratory and cardiovascular events, were noted. Chi-Square (χ2), Fisher’s exact test, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Student’s t-test, and Kruskal-Wallis or Mood’s median test were used to compare variables, with significance at P≤0.05.
Results: There were 128 men (mean age, 68.8 yr) and 154 women (mean age, 65.9 yr; P=0.02). Women had higher preoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 second as percent of predicted (FEV1%; P=0.001). There were more former smokers in the male cohort (P=0.03) and more nonsmokers in the female cohort (P},
