Our study focused on the prognostic value of preoperative PDW in 750 patients with NSCLC. We also analyzed preoperative PDW in different stages and histological subtypes systematically. A model built by preoperative PDW combined with the TNM staging system had a better prognostic ability. LRT was used to calculate values of the goodness of fit between the model and the TNM staging system.
