Results

There are 37 Chinese articles and 40 articles in other languages published with case report which reported 128 cases and 51 cases with pneumothorax induced by acupuncture,respectively. There are 24 articles with prospective studys or reviews. pneumothorax is the most common among the all severe adverse events related to acupuncture. However, acupuncture is an important cause of pneumothorax which is missing from the western medical books.

气胸与针灸相关:系统回顾与分析

目的回顾分析国内外针灸相关气胸的临床资料。方法检索MEDLINE、PUBMED、NHS、CNKI(中国)、VIP(中国)和万方(中国)，检索词为“针灸”、“并发症/不良事件/副作用”和“气胸”。我们纳入并分析了所有原始病例报告、综述和前瞻性研究。结果中文文献37篇，外文文献40篇，分别报道针刺致气胸128例和51例。有24篇文章是前瞻性研究或综述。气胸是所有与针灸相关的严重不良事件中最常见的。然而，针灸是气胸的一个重要原因，这在西方医学书籍中是缺失的。结论针刺是气胸的医源性病因，应引起重视，并列入西医教材。
