Abstract
Keeping surgeon experience constant, and after adjusting for patient factors, the rate of major complication after lobectomy is higher at VAMC. The difference is largely attributable to a higher rate of postoperative pneumonia at VAMC. Complications after pulmonary resection at VAMC could be reduced by implementing quality improvement initiatives aimed at reducing the rate of postoperative pneumonia.
