Pleural diseases include a spectrum of disorders broadly categorized into pneumothorax and pleural effusion. They often cause pain, breathlessness, cough, and reduced quality of life. The global burden of diseases reflects regional differences in conditions and exposures associated with pleural disease, such as smoking, pneumonia, tuberculosis, asbestos, cancer, and organ failure. Disease burden in high-income countries is overrepresented given the availability of data and disease burden in lower-income countries is likely underestimated. In the United States, in 2016, there were 42,215 treat-and-discharge visits to the emergency room for pleural diseases and an additional 361,270 hospitalizations, resulting in a national cost of $10.1 billion.
胸膜疾病包括一系列广泛分类为气胸和胸腔积液的疾病。它们常引起疼痛、呼吸困难、咳嗽和生活质量下降。全球疾病负担反映了与胸膜疾病相关的条件和暴露的区域差异，如吸烟、肺炎、结核病、石棉、癌症和器官衰竭。鉴于数据的可用性，高收入国家的疾病负担占比较大，而低收入国家的疾病负担可能被低估。在美国，2016 年有 42215 例胸膜疾病急诊治疗和出院就诊，另有 361270 例住院治疗，导致全国医疗费用为 101 亿美元。
