Baseline demographics were comparable between patients with (Eyes) and without empyema (Eno). 39% (n\u2009=\u2009156) patients underwent extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP), of whom 22% (n\u2009=\u200935) developed postoperative pleural empyema; 6% (n\u2009=\u200915) of the remaining 244 patients undergoing pleurectomy and decortication (n\u2009=\u200946), extended pleurectomy and decortication (n\u2009=\u2009114), partial pleurectomy (n\u2009=\u200954) or explorative thoracotomy (n\u2009=\u200930) resulted in postoperative empyema. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, EPP (odds ratio 2.8, 95% confidence interval 1.5\u20135.4, P\u2009=\u20090.002) emerged as the only risk factor associated with postoperative empyema when controlled for smoking status. Median overall survival was significantly worse for Eyes (16\u2009months, interquartile range 5\u201327\u2009months) than for Eno (18\u2009months, interquartile range 8\u201335\u2009months).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Patients undergoing EPP had a significantly higher risk of developing postoperative pleural empyema compared to patients undergoing other surgery types.
