welcomes you to the new, improved website!Approximately 5400 patients who underwent lobectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer were analyzed. Post-discharge mortality (PDM) within 90 days came up to 1.9%. Patient-dependent risk factors were identified by multivariate logistic and Cox regression analyses. The authors consider PDM an under-reported phenomenon and suggest measures to improve it.
