We were able to enhance the predictability of the ppoFEV1 with modifications. The modified ppoFEV1 (1.828 l ± 0.479 l) closely approximates the postFEV1 of 1.823 l ± 0.476 l, (0.27%) while the original ppoFEV1 calculation is at 1.78 l ± 0.53 (2.19%). However, if patients require pneumectomy, more complex techniques to determine the ppoFEV1 should be included to stratify risk.
