Abstract
This scoring system predicts incremental risk of ICU admission for complications after major lung resection. This system may help in assessing the need for additional postoperative resources and in modifying indicators used to determine the appropriateness of initial transfer of postoperative patients from ICU or stepdown status and in developing criteria for future cost-effectiveness trials.
