database[Title] 2026-07-10
Summary:
CONCLUSION: Preoperative high-sensitivity C-reactive protein is associated with an increased risk of clinically recognized POAF after VATS lobectomy. Its inclusion in baseline models improves statistical risk stratification, pending further prospective clinical validation.
