Postoperative pneumonia in patients with non-small cell lung cancer undergoing thoracoscopic surgery: What should we care about?

The incidence of postoperative pneumonia in patients with NSCLC is relatively high and is influenced by a multitude of factors. The postoperative pneumonia risk prediction model developed in this study has demonstrated promising predictive performance. However, given the single-center design and limited sample size, additional clinical validation is necessary to confirm its practical applicability and reliability in real-world clinical settings.
