Background:Patients with ovarian cancer often require intensive care unit (ICU) admission after surgery due to the complexity of the operation and the higher risk of complications. However, not all patients require a prolonged stay in the ICU. To identify factors that may predict extended stay in the ICU following surgery for ovarian cancer.Methods:A retrospective review was conducted of patients who underwent surgery for ovarian cancer and were admitted to the ICU at a single tertiary hospital center between January 2004 and December 2023. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and perioperative variables were analyzed.Results:Of the 74 patients included, 36.5% had an ICU stay of at least 48 h. Factors associated with prolonged ICU stay included higher Body Mass Index (BMI) and time of surgery duration. In contrast, a greater body temperature at the end of the operation was linked to a decrease in the length of ICU stay.Conclusions:These findings provide valuable insights for preoperative counseling and resource allocation, enhancing postoperative care for ovarian cancer patients. Additional research is required to confirm these data and investigate any other factors that may predict extended stay in the ICU.
背景：卵巢癌患者因手术复杂性和并发症风险较高，术后常需入住重症监护室（ICU）。然而，并非所有患者均需长期滞留ICU。本研究旨在识别可预测卵巢癌术后ICU滞留时间延长的相关因素。 方法：回顾性分析2004年1月至2023年12月期间在某三级医院中心接受卵巢癌手术并入住ICU的患者资料，对患者人口统计学特征、临床指标及围手术期变量进行统计分析。 结果：在纳入的74例患者中，36.5%的患者ICU滞留时间≥48小时。较高的体重指数（BMI）和较长的手术时间与ICU滞留时间延长显著相关。相反，手术结束时较高的体温与ICU滞留时间缩短存在关联。 结论：这些发现为术前评估和医疗资源配置提供了重要依据，有助于优化卵巢癌患者的术后管理。未来需进一步研究以验证上述结论，并探索其他可能预测ICU滞留时间延长的潜在因素。
