Article Synopsis
- The study assessed how well the Haller index can predict the risk of recurrence in patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax.
- Data from 285 patients (mostly young men) who had undergone CT scans were analyzed over several years, categorizing them into those who experienced recurrence and those who did not.
- Results indicated that a higher Haller index was linked to a greater risk of recurrence, suggesting that using this index could help identify high-risk patients for better management strategies.
