Overview

Supports preoperative risk stratification by age and DLCO in lung resection; extends observational data but leaves causal confirmation and practice change open.

Structured PICO

What are the risk factors for postoperative complications after pulmonary resection in patients with primary lung cancer?

P
Population
291 patients with primary lung cancer (excluding T4 diseases) who consecutively underwent a pulmonary resection from 1988 to 1992 at a single institute.
I
Intervention
Pulmonary resection
O
Outcome
Incidence of postoperative complications (divided into non-life-threatening and life-threatening)safety

Age ≥70 and %DLco <70 are independent risk factors for both life-threatening and non-life-threatening complications after pulmonary resection for lung cancer, though overall mortality remains low.
