Quality of life in patients undergoing lung resection: Evaluation of outcomes of follow-up using brief pain inventory
Our study results indicate that a preference for minimal invasive procedures, the use of a single thoracic drain, and the prompt removal of the drain minimize pain and functional impairment. Women, patients with a preoperative diagnosis of malignancy requiring metastasectomy, and history of thoracotomy or surgery experience elevated levels of anxiety. Therefore, consistent monitoring and psychological support may be recommended to improve the quality of life for this patient population.
