The median length of stay was 3 days (IQR 2\u20136). The medians (IQR) of postoperative 30, 60, 90, 180 and 365 DAOH were 27 (22\u201328), 57 (51\u201358), 86 (80\u201388), 176 (169\u2013178) and 359 (349\u2013363) days, respectively. Air leak was the dominant factor for reduced DAOH from postoperative day (POD) 0\u201330 (47.2%) and 0\u2013365 (38.3%). Side effects of adjuvant chemotherapy were dominant from POD 31\u201360 and 61\u201390 (23.5% and 47.1%) and recurrence\/metastases from POD 91\u2013180 and 181\u2013365 (25.6% and 50.0%). A low diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (odds ratios 1.28, 95% confidence interval 1.07\u20131.53; P=0.007) and prior surgical history (odds ratios 1.80, 95% confidence interval 1.08\u20132.99; P=0.023) were predictors for low DAOH.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>DAOH after 1 year with an established VATS lobectomy ERAS programme was only reduced with a median of 6 days.
