- A multicenter study investigated the frequency of Patient Safety Incidents (PSI) during lung surgeries in France and their effects on postoperative outcomes within 90 days.
- Out of 1919 surgeries screened, 953 were included, revealing a 32% PSI incidence, which was mostly attributed to human factors, organizational issues, and technology problems.
- The severity of PSI significantly increased the risk of complications, readmission, and mortality at 90 days, highlighting the importance of addressing human factors in surgical settings.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate whether the preoperative Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) can predict postoperative complications after major lung surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- - Conducted at Rouen University Hospital, the retrospective cohort study included 71 patients, finding that 27.1% experienced significant postoperative complications, but the LCQ's predictive value was marginal (ROC curve area of 0.60).
- - The researchers concluded that the LCQ was not a reliable predictor of complications, citing the need for larger studies to confirm findings due to insufficient statistical precision.
