Pediatric PSP occurred mainly in boys of the late teenage group with lower body mass index. Autumn was the most likely attack season. There was only a small portion of the patients who smoked. There was no evidence to find a correlation between smoking and pediatric PSP attacks. Length of stay was shorter in supportive treatment and closed-tube drainage patients than that in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery-treated patients. The outcomes were satisfactory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
