The purpose of this study was to determine the risk-adjusted increase in length of stay associated with each individual postoperative complications following anatomic lung resection.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients who underwent anatomic lung resection cataloged in the prospectively collected American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program participant use file, 2005\u20132018, were targeted. The association between preoperative characteristics, postoperative complications and length of stay in days was tested. A negative binomial model adjusting for the effect of preoperative characteristics and 18 concurrent postoperative complications was used to generate incidence rate ratios. This model was fit to generate risk-adjusted increases in length of stay by complication.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of 32\u00a0133 patients, 5065 patients (15.8%) experienced at least one post-operative complication. The most frequent complications were pneumonia (n\u2009=\u20091829, 5.7%), the need for transfusion (n\u2009=\u20091794, 5.6%) and unplanned reintubation (n\u2009=\u20091064, 3.3%). The occurrence of each of the 18 individual complications was associated with significantly increased length of stay. This finding persisted after risk-adjustment, with the greatest risk-adjusted increases being associated with prolonged ventilation (+17.4\u2009days), followed by septic shock (+17.2\u2009days), acute
