Abstract
The numbers of patients with anticoagulant use (P < 0.0001), ischemic stroke (P = 0.0063), and atrial fibrillation (P = 0.0410) were significantly different between the two groups. No significant intergroup differences were noted with respect to the length of hospitalization, drainage duration, subcutaneous emphysema, and treatment failure. Logistic regression analyses of baseline characteristics showed that the severity of pneumothorax, localization of pneumothorax, and recurrent pneumothorax were significantly associated with drainage treatment failure, but the type of drainage catheter was not significantly associated with treatment failure. [Conclusions] The results suggest that small-bore aspiration catheters, which cause less pain in patients, are potentially useful for pneumothorax drainage.
