Risk factors and age-specific monthly patterns of primary spontaneous pneumothorax: a multicenter study
Our study provided valuable insights into the month-based epidemiology of PSP in Korea, highlighting differences in incidence patterns among teenagers compared with those in the other age groups. Moreover, the reported link between BMI, inflammation, and pneumothorax recurrence might be a basis for future prospective studies aimed to prevent and treat pneumothorax.
