We sought to determine the rate and risk factors of recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax in a diverse population.
Cohort study using the California Public Discharge Data file (1995-2010). We identified patients with first-time spontaneous pneumothorax. The primary outcome was recurrent pneumothorax. Associations with clinical, patient, and hospital characteristics were assessed using Cox regression analysis.
Among 14,609 patients with a first-time episode of spontaneous pneumothorax, 26.2% developed a recurrence. Risk factors included age <35 (Hazard Ratio [HR] 1.24 95%-Confidence Interval [CI] 1.14-1.36), Asian race (HR 1.24, CI 1.13-1.37), and tube thoracostomy (HR 1.2, CI 1.15-1.31). Mechancial pleurodesis (HR 0.37 CI 0.31-0.45) was superior to chemical pleurodesis (HR 0.71 CI 0.58-0.86) in reducing recurrence risk.
The risk of recurrent pneumothorax is greatest in patients age <35, Asians, and those requiring a tube thoracostomy. The risks of operative intervention should be balanced against patient risk for recurrence.
我们试图确定不同人群中复发性自发性气胸的发生率及危险因素。
采用加利福尼亚公共出院数据文件(1995 - 2010年)进行队列研究。我们确定了首次发生自发性气胸的患者。主要结局是复发性气胸。使用Cox回归分析评估与临床、患者及医院特征的相关性。
在14,609例首次发生自发性气胸的患者中,26.2%出现复发。危险因素包括年龄<35岁(风险比[HR] 1.24,95%置信区间[CI] 1.14 - 1.36)、亚洲人种(HR 1.24,CI 1.13 - 1.37)以及胸腔闭式引流术(HR 1.2,CI 1.15 - 1.31)。在降低复发风险方面,机械性胸膜固定术(HR 0.37,CI 0.31 - 0.45)优于化学性胸膜固定术(HR 0.71,CI 0.58 - 0.86)。
年龄<35岁的患者、亚洲人以及需要进行胸腔闭式引流术的患者复发性气胸风险最高。手术干预的风险应与患者的复发风险相权衡。
