abstract = {Background: The study aimed to investigate the correlation between peak expiratory flow (PEF) and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) for lung cancer patients undergoing lobectomy.
Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (n=725) were prospectively analyzed and the relationship between the preoperative PEF and PPCs was evaluated based on patients’ basic characteristics and clinical data in hospital
Results: Among the 725 included patients, 144 of them were presented PPCs in 30 days after lobectomy, which were divided into PPCs group. PEF value (294.2±85.1 vs. 344.7±89.6 L/min; P},
