However, a nonsignificant trend toward higher complication risk was observed for reduced ECOG performance (OR 3.6, p = 0.11) and COPD (OR 3.4, p = 0.24).

The chest tube duration was significantly longer in patients with PAL (median: 11 days, range 8–20 days; 95% CI = 9.95, 16.05) compared to those without PAL (median: 4 days, range 2–16 days; 95% CI = 3.57, 5.99); p < 0.0001, unpaired t -test), indicating a highly significant association between PAL and prolonged chest drainage.
