Patients were followed from the procedure date until death or until 12 months after the procedure. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was performed to adjust for imbalances in baseline characteristics. Differences in length of stay, readmissions, emergency department visits, home care visits, and healthcare costs were estimated using weighted regression analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 5,752 included individuals, 4,432 (77%) underwent IPC insertion and 1,320 (23%) had pleurodesis. In the weighted sample, individuals who received an IPC had fewer inpatient days (12.4 d vs. 16 d; standardized mean difference, 0.229) but a higher proportion of subsequent admissions for empyema (2.7% vs. 1.1%; P\u2009=\u20090.0002) than those undergoing pleurodesis. Individuals with IPCs received more hours of nursing home care (41\u2009h vs. 21.1\u2009h; standardized mean difference, 0.671) but overall had lower average healthcare costs ($40,179 vs. $46,640 per patient; standardized mean difference, 0.177) than those receiving pleurodesis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>IPCs with home nursing drainage are associated with reduced health resource use compared with pleurodesis in adults with MPEs, even after controlling for important baseline and clinical characteristics.
