Spontaneous Pneumothorax
Abstract
Pneumothorax is classified as spontaneous (not caused by trauma or any obvious precipitating factor), traumatic, or iatrogenic (Table 1). Primary spontaneous pneumothorax occurs in persons without clinically apparent lung disease; secondary spontaneous pneumothorax is a complication of preexisting lung disease. Iatrogenic pneumothorax results from a complication of a diagnostic or therapeutic intervention. Traumatic pneumothorax is caused by penetrating or blunt trauma to the chest, with air entering the pleural space directly through the chest wall; visceral pleural penetration; or alveolar rupture due to sudden compression of the chest. In this review we focus on spontaneous pneumothorax.Primary Spontaneous PneumothoraxEpidemiology . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
