Prevalence of Smoking Among Spontaneous Pneumothorax Patients and Its Impact on Treatment in Syria Country: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Spontaneous Pneumothorax (SP) is a case where air is collected in the pleural space, with smoking recognized as a major risk factor. Despite the global burden of SP, there is limited research on its prevalence and recurrence in Middle Eastern populations, particularly in Syria.

Effect of Opioids vs NSAIDs and Larger vs Smaller Chest Tube Size on Pain Control and Pleurodesis Efficacy Among Patients With Malignant Pleural Effusion: The TIME1 Randomized Clinical Trial.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2015
IMPORTANCE For treatment of malignant pleural effusion, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are avoided because they may reduce pleurodesis efficacy. Smaller chest tubes may be less painful than larger tubes, but efficacy in pleurodesis has not

Data‐driven prediction of prolonged air leak after video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer: Development and validation of machine‐learning‐based models using real‐world data through the ePath system

Learning Health Systems, Volume 9, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Introduction The reliability of data‐driven predictions in real‐world scenarios remains uncertain. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine‐learning‐based model for predicting clinical outcomes using real‐world data from an electronic clinical pathway (ePath) system.
