Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL).Information DOI of original publication: Copy DOI Database: The IPC is an effective treatment modality in patients with symptomatic malignant pleural effusion. However, IPC patients had lower hospital stay, fewer admissions and fewer re‐interventions. Equal number of adverse events occurred.ĬONCLUSIONS: IPC was not superior in the primary endpoint, improvement of the modified Borg scale (MBS). The mean number of re‐interventions was lower following IPC (0.21 vs 0.53, p=0.05). It has been developed by Elastic Threads (David Halter) and Brett Terpstra, and made available for free (donations accepted). Fewer IPC patients underwent more than one re‐intervention (7/45 vs 15/43, p=0.09). It’s a workflow containing just a file filter which constrains the search to your nvALT folder and searches only by OpenMeta tags, and a shell script that opens the file in nvALT. nvALT 2 is a fork of the original Notational Velocity with some additional features and interface modifications, including MultiMarkdown functionality. When you hit enter, you are within the note. Compared to TP, patients with an IPC had significantly less hospital days during randomized treatment (median: 0 vs 5, p<0.0001), and total hospitalizations for all causes (median: 1.6 vs 1.0, p=0.0035). With nvALT if you are searching and you are halfway completing a note's title, it is actually highlighted and auto-completed. There was no difference in dyspnea during exercise between TP and IPC at week 6 following treatment, while at rest TP patients (n=13) reported less dyspnea than IPC patients (n=18) (median 0 vs 1, p=0.002). RESULTS: Dyspnea improved significantly (p<0.01) after either treatment, but the magnitude of this improvement did not differ significantly between arms (median 3 and 1 for TP:IPC respectively in rest, p=0.16, (TP 13:IPC 16) and 3 and 1 during exercise, p=0.72 (TP 13:IPC 17)). Secondary endpoints were hospitalization days, re‐interventions, and adverse events. The primary endpoint was improvement from baseline in Modified Borg Score (MBS) 6weeks after randomized treatment. METHODS: We compared talc pleurodesis with the use of an indwelling pleural catheter in patients with recurrent MPE in a multicenter randomized controlled trial (superiority design). Indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) are commonly inserted when TP has been unsuccessful. The associated prognosis is poor and the success rate of talc pleurodesis (TP) is low. BACKGROUND: Symptomatic malignant pleural effusion (MPE) occurs frequently in patients with metastatic cancer. ![]()
