This study aimed to identify clinical and radiological predictors of deterioration requiring tube thoracostomy and to develop a predictive model to guide management decisions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this retrospective single-centre study, 166 patients with blunt trauma-associated occult pneumothorax were analyzed. Clinical and radiological variables\u2014including subcutaneous emphysema, haemothorax volume, pneumothorax size, mechanical ventilation, and rib fractures\u2014were evaluated for association with delayed tube thoracostomy. A weighted multivariable logistic regression model addressed class imbalance, and model performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 166 patients, 17 (10.2%) required delayed tube thoracostomy. Subcutaneous emphysema (odds ratio [OR] 20.10, P\u2009=\u2009.001) and mechanical ventilation (OR 17.30, P\u2009=\u2009.002) were the strongest independent predictors of deterioration. Haemothorax volume also showed a significant association (OR 1.06, P\u2009=\u2009.045). Other factors, including pneumothorax size, rib fractures, age, and sex, were not predictive. The predictive model demonstrated excellent discrimination (area under the curve [AUC]\u2009=\u20090.97), suggesting potential for clinical risk stratification.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Physiological indicators such as subcutaneous emphysema and mechanical ventilation are superior to anatomical parameters in predicting deterioration among patients with occult pneumothorax. Our findings support a selective management strategy and highlight the utility of predictive modelling to guide tube thoracostomy decisions.
