Popis: Background: This study aims to investigate the effect of body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea level, and exercise capacity (BODE) index on predicting the postoperative complications of lung resections and compare this effect with spirometry and maximal oxygen uptake in patients with lung cancer accompanied by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with the indication of lung resection.
