Inter‐observer variation in image interpretation and the prognostic importance of non‐expansile lung in malignant pleural effusion

ABSTRACT Background and objective Non‐expansile lung (NEL) frequently complicates management of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) and is an important factor in clinical practice and trials. NEL is frequently diagnosed on a single radiographic observation, but neither the inter‐observer agreement of t...

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Background and objective Non‐expansile lung (NEL) frequently complicates management of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) and is an important factor in clinical practice and trials. NEL is frequently diagnosed on a single radiographic observation, but neither the inter‐observer agreement of this approach nor the prognostic importance of NEL in MPE has been reported. Methods A multicentre retrospective cohort study was performed in two UK pleural centres. NEL was defined as
