Development and validation of nomogram estimating post-surgery hospital stay of lung cancer patients: relevance for predictive, preventive, and personalized healthcare strategies

ConclusionsPreoperative amelioration of RV/TLC may prevent lung cancer patients from unnecessary prolonged p-LOS. The integrated nomogram we developed could provide personalized risk prediction of prolonged p-LOS. This prediction tool may help patients perceive expected hospital stays and enable clinicians to achieve better bed management after lung cancer surgery.
