We compared the surgical outcomes between the \u22643 segment group (group A) and the \u22654 segment group (group B). Lung functions were evaluated by comparing the preoperative and 6-month postoperative periods. Comprehensive preoperative status, including osteoporosis, sarcopenia and lung function, was incorporated into the propensity score matching analysis.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Propensity score matching for 420 patients yielded 310 for evaluation (1:1 matching), with a median follow-up of 57.6\u2009months. Fifty-four patients (17.5%) died (17 from lung cancer and 37 from other diseases), and 50 patients (16.1%) experienced cancer recurrence. The 2 groups had no significant differences in surgical outcomes, including operation time, blood loss and postoperative complications. However, group B showed the worst reduction in vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in 1\u2009s (all P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). Additionally, there were no significant differences in cancer recurrence or lung cancer mortality between the groups, although group B was significantly associated with increased deaths from other causes (P\u2009=\u20090.007, Gray\u2019s test; adjusted subdistribution hazard ratio 2.392; 95% confidence interval 1.170\u20135.167). Subgroup analyses revealed adverse effect modification in male patients regarding non-cancer-related deaths (P-value for interaction = 0.044).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n
