Abstract
The use of screening techniques, such as computed and positron emission tomography, in patients thought to be at high risk of developing primary lung tumors is increasing. Anticipating, and preferably predicting, which patients undergoing thoracic surgery will require intensive care postoperatively therefore assumes considerable clinical significance, and has implications for resource provision and utilization.
