Abstract

Dear Editor,

Preoperative evaluation before thoracic surgery requires more than the prediction of postoperative lung function. Although pulmonary function tests and imaging-based estimates remain central, perioperative outcomes are also shaped by exercise capacity, muscle performance, frailty, symptom burden, and overall tolerance to physiological stress 1. This supports the need for practical tools able to capture global functional reserve in routine clinical assessment.
