Key result
High ARISCAT and POSSUM scores predict ~16-fold greater complication risk in octogenarians undergoing lung resection.
Why the study?
The study aimed to identify parameters that predict postoperative complications in patients aged 80 years and over undergoing lung resection.

High ARISCAT scores may flag elevated complication risk after lung resection in older adults; leaves open optimal surgical approach in this population.
Özgür et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Lung resection in octogenarians (n=49). High ARISCAT score vs. Low ARISCAT score was evaluated on Postoperative complications (OR 16.482, 95% CI 1.376-197.339, p=0.027). High ARISCAT scores (OR 16.482; 95% CI 1.376-197.339) and POSSUM scores >31.100 (OR 36.308) independently predicted postoperative complications in octogenarians undergoing lung resection.
