Complications of silicone airway stents in malignant and benign central airway stenosis: timing of complications and survival outcomes
Key Points
This research aims to analyze complications associated with silicone airway stents in both malignant and benign airway stenosis.
Retrospective single-center design
Focus on benign subgroup
Symptom-driven follow-up with survival analysis
Identified timing of complications related to stent use
Observed potential confounding and immortal-time bias in survival outcomes
Abstract
Retrospective single-center design, small benign subgroup, symptom-driven follow-up, and potential confounding and immortal-time bias in survival analyses.
