    The modified frailty index-5 (MFI-5) includes five parameters: hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, and functional status.

  • 2

    MFI-5 effectively predicts postoperative complications, including 30-day mortality, in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery for lung cancer.

  • 3

    Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are significant risk factors for postoperative complications, affecting wound healing and increasing susceptibility to infections.

  • 4

    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure are associated with serious postoperative complications and increased morbidity after lung resections.

  • 5

    Functional independence status is a crucial indicator of postoperative outcomes, with dependent status linked to a higher likelihood of complications.
