May aid postoperative risk stratification after pneumonectomy; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.

Outcome
Postoperative morbidity and mortality (including 30-day mortality and major complications defined as necessitating re-thoracotomy or causing death)hard clinical

High serum LDH, low predicted FEV1, and failure to extubate postoperatively are independent predictors of major complications following pneumonectomy for lung cancer.
