	abstract = {Background: Given the positive effect of a thoracoscopic approach on improving postoperative outcomes, it is reasonable to speculate whether an increased comorbidity burden is related to higher morbidity following thoracoscopic lobectomy. We sought to evaluate the impact of comorbidity burden on adverse postoperative outcomes in this patient population. 
Methods: A retrospective review of our institutional database included 512 patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from 2009 through 2016. Comorbidity burden was assessed by the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) and classified as high (CCI ≥3) or low (CCI },
