Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) arises in an otherwise healthy person without any underlying lung disease. PSP occurs in people aged 20 to 30 years, with a peak incidence in the early twenties. The recurrence rate in spontaneous PT patients is approximately 10%\u201320%. In the present study, 50 cases of spontaneous PT were undertaken with an aim to analyse aetiology, clinical profile and management outcome of PT patients.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n \n The present study was conducted for a period of 12 months, among 50 patients presenting with unilateral PT. The therapeutic interventions were indicated when there was a loss of volume of lungs of 32% or more, and this loss of volume was calculated using Collins method. The association between the side of PT, smoking status and size of PT were found using the Chi-square test, and the association between variables were considered significant if the\n P<\/jats:italic>\n value was <0.05.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n In the present study, the male patients were 92.0% and only 8.0% of patients were females. The further history-taking of patients had shown that the mode of onset of PT was sudden in 72.0% of patients. Although the success rate of Intracth procedure was lower in comparison with the intercoastal drainage (ICD) procedure, the complication rate of Intracath was lower when compared with extensive subcutaneous.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n PSP is less common than secondary spontaneous PT. Smoking is an independent risk factor for PT, and it delays its resorbtion.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_341_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,29]],"date-time":"2023-09-29T06:04:13Z","timestamp":1695967453000},"page":"2134-2139","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Aetiology, clinical profile and management outcome of pneumothorax patients: A prospective study from Central India"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Priyanka","family":"Joshi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Mahaveer Institute of Medical Science, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gaurav","family":"Sahu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Medicine, AIIMS, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kamendra Singh","family":"Pawar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Respiratory Medicine, Sri Aurobindo Institute of Medical Sciences and Postgraduate Institute, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vikas","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, Birsa Munda Government Medical College, Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20260204","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"868","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM200003233421207","article-title":"Spontaneous pneumothorax","volume":"342","author":"Sahn","year":"2000","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"R2-20260204","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"793","DOI":"10.4081\/monaldi.2017.793","article-title":"Incidence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax is not associated with microclimatic variations.
