A retrospective analysis of treatment selection and risk factors of treatment failure and recurrence in patients with spontaneous pneumothorax Open
Predictive factors for failure after initial treatment were recurrence of ipsilateral pneumothorax, high degree of lung collapse, and radiological evidence of bullae. The predictive factor for recurrence after the last treatment was the pr…
