Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary outcome is the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC), which is a dichotomous composite endpoint consisting of acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, pneumothorax, acute respiratory failure, invasive/noninvasive mechanical ventilation or tracheotomy. The data were collected retrospectively using routine data provided by the medical controlling of the University Hospital Düsseldorf. The endpoint is considered to have occurred if at least one of its components was coded during the respective hospital stay.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary outcomes are the following: Each component of the primary PPC composite endpoint, PPC without ventilation component, noninvasive mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit stay, duration of intensive care unit stay, postoperative length of hospital stay, in-hospital mortality. The severity of PPC may be analysed exploratorily.	—
