The primary objective of this study is to assess the outcome of intercostal tube drainage in individuals with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax. The study took place in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, a leading tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh. The research involved 175 patients selected through a purposive non-probability sampling technique. Among 175 patients, remarkably, 161 patients (92.0%) reported experiencing relief from dyspnea, while 147(84.0%) exhibited an expansion of lung fields. This suggests that patients who find relief from dyspnea are likely to experience lung field expansion. This data highlights the substantial correlation between these two clinical outcomes in this patient population. Postoperative pain (49.0%) was the most prevalent consequence, and tube dislodgement (2.0%) was the least common complication after Intercostal tube insertion. Regarding the duration of hospital stays, 84 patients (48.0%) were discharged within 7 days, 56 patients (32.0%) were hospitalized for 8-14 days and 35 patients (20.0%) remained in the hospital for more than 14 days. In comparison, the durations for intercostal tube insertions were 0-7 days for 105 patients (60.0%), 8-14 days for 35 patients (20.0%) and over 14 days for another 35 patients (20.0%).</p>","PeriodicalId":94148,"journal":{"name":"Mymensingh medical journal : MMJ","volume":"34 3","pages":"650-655"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144532116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV₁), a basic spirometry finding along with others (Predicted FEV₁% and FVC), is essential for COPD diagnosis and severity analysis. Renal functional evaluation is essential, in addition to other systemic evaluations. Its evaluation is important because drugs used for the treatment of COPD are mostly excreted through the kidneys, which may cause its impairment. The estimated GFR (eGFR) by the modification of the diet in renal disease (MDRD) study group equation can approximate the actual GFR. This study aimed to elicit the association between airflow limitation severity and eGFR in stable COPD patients. This cross-sectional observational study included 95 patients with stable COPD who presented at the NIDCH between June 2018 and June 2019. The mean spirometry indices were compared with the eGFR-based groups (eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m² and eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m²). Correlation test was done to elicit the association of FEV₁ with eGFR. In addition, the prediction capability of eGFR along with other clinically relevant effector variables for FEV₁ was analyzed. FEV₁ was strongly correlated with eGFR (r=0.754, p<0.001). Predicted FEV₁% and FVC had moderate correlations with eGFR (r=0.646, p<0.001 and r=0.691, p<0.001, respectively), whereas FEV₁/FVC had weak correlations with eGFR (r=0.440, p<0.001). eGFR showed good prediction capability (β=-0.176, p<0.001) among other clinically relevant effector variables (age, sex, smoking, exacerbation history, mMRC grade, CAT score and BMI).
