Why the study?
No postoperative cardiopulmonary morbidity models had been developed or validated in Chinese patients undergoing lung resection.
Do existing predictive models accurately predict postoperative cardiopulmonary morbidity in Chinese patients undergoing lung resection?
Population
1085 patients with lung cancer undergoing anatomic lung resection in a single center
Comparison
External validation of five predictive models for postoperative cardiopulmonary morbidity
Design
Single-center external validation study

Most models lack acceptable performance in Chinese patients; challenges generalizability and leaves open need for population-specific validation.
Do existing predictive models accurately predict postoperative cardiopulmonary morbidity in Chinese patients undergoing lung resection?
Existing European and American predictive models for postoperative cardiopulmonary morbidity perform poorly in Chinese patients undergoing lung resection, highlighting the need for population-specific risk models.
