However, little is known about AE-IP after non-pulmonary surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of AE-IP after non-pulmonary surgery and identify its risk factors. Methods: One hundred and fifty-one patients with IP who underwent pulmonary surgery and 291 who underwent non-pulmonary surgery were retrospectively investigated.Results: AE-IP developed in 5 (3.3%) of the 151 patients in the pulmonary surgery group and 4 (1.4%) of the 291 in the non-pulmonary surgery group; the difference was not statistically significant. A logistic regression model showed that serum C-reactive protein (CRP) was a predictor of AE-IP in the non-pulmonary surgery group (odds ratio 1.187, 95% confidence interval 1.073-1.344, P = 0.002). Conclusions: This is the first study to compare the frequency of AE-IP after pulmonary surgery with that after non-pulmonary surgery performed under the same conditions. The results suggest that the frequency of AE-IP after non-pulmonary surgery is similar to that after pulmonary surgery. A high preoperative C-reactive protein level is a potential risk factor for AE-IP after non-pulmonary surgery., Respiratory Research, 20(1), art.no.154; 2019}, title = {Postoperative acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia in pulmonary and non-pulmonary surgery: a retrospective study}, volume = {20}, year = {2019} }
