Postoperative pulmonary complications, such as pneumonia and pleural effusion, occur frequently and may adversely affect patient prognosis. However, the underlying risk factors remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to investigate risk factors for pulmonary complications following neuroblastoma resection and to establish predictive cutoff values for clinical risk stratification.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This single-center retrospective study included 214 children who underwent elective abdominal neuroblastoma resection between April 2018 and December 2020. The primary endpoint was the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to determine cutoff values for clinical parameters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications was 26.2%.
