A cohort study finds disease severity and treatment adherence significantly impact prognosis in tuberculous pleurisy patients, suggesting a need for better management strategies.
Long-term prognosis in patients with TP is influenced by both disease severity, as reflected by bilateral pleural involvement and the need for extended treatment regimens, and the quality of clinical management, particularly adherence to standardized therapy. Early diagnosis and strict implementation of guideline-recommended treatment should be prioritized, especially among patients at higher risk of adverse outcomes.
