Comparison of Clinical Characteristics and Prognosis Among Spontaneous Pneumothorax Patients of Different Ages: A Two-Year Follow-Up Study
Compared to adolescents and adults, newborn and elderly patients with SP are more prone to comorbid lung diseases and longer hospitalization times. The prognosis of neonates is significantly better than the other groups. Increased frequency of acute exacerbations and a deteriorating trend in pulmonary function were observed in patients with COPD after discharge.
