Résumé

The American College of Chest Physicians functional guidelines classify patients with predicted postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 s or predicted postoperative carbon monoxide lung diffusion capacity <60% and with maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) between 10 and 20 ml/kg/min in a heterogeneous category broadly defined as 'moderate risk' with variable morbidity and mortality. Data to support this statement are lacking. Using the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons database, our goal was to test this definition by evaluating the morbidity and mortality of those patients falling into this class.
