Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of pneumothorax usually develop in any decade of life, and start with symptoms such as difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, and chest pain.
- Uncomplicated pneumothorax usually resolve within 10 days.
- Recurrence occurs within 6 months.[1]
- If left untreated, patients with tension pneumothorax may progress to develop death.
Complications
- Common complications of pneumothorax include:[2]
- Recurrence
- Cardiovascular collapse
- Pneumomediastinum[3]
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
- Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression/etc.] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
- The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
- [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
