Table 4 Comparison of the measured and predicted postoperative pulmonary function values obtained using the FLV and SC methods

From: Comparison between functional lung volume measurement and segment counting for predicting postoperative pulmonary function after pulmonary resection in lung cancer patients

Variable

Postoperative pulmonary function

SC

FLV

FVC (L)

2.58 ± 0.59

2.29 ± 0.49*

2.31 ± 0.46*

FEV1 (L)

2.05 ± 0.51
