The present study aims to determine the incidence of pneumothorax following thoracentesis in ED settings and evaluate the association of specific demographics, clinical, and procedure factors with thoracentesis-related pneumothorax.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 3,067 thoracentesis cases in the ED of a tertiary care, university-affiliated hospital between January 2009 and December 2014.
