ABSTRACT
Introduction: among the most frequent complications of acute respiratory infections is parapneumonic pleural effusion. It is associated with bacterial pneumonia, lung abscesses or bronchiectasis. Its right management is still a matter of discussion regarding its evolution, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Objective: to clinical-epidemiologically characterize patients with uncomplicated parapneumonic pleural effusion in acute respiratory disease wards of the “Vladimir Ilich Lenin” University General Hospital in the province of Holguín, in the period from May 2020 to May 2021. Method: an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at the “Vladimir Ilich Lenin” University General Hospital. The universe was composed of 50 patients with uncomplicated parapneumonic pleural effusion; they were all studied. Descriptive statistic was used. Results: female patients (56 %) and patients older than 61 years old (60 %) predominated. Smoking was present in 25 patients (50 %) as a risk factor. Arterial hypertension was the main personal pathological history in 20 patients (40 %). Seventy-two percent of the cases developed it from admission and 60 % presented a hospital stay of less than one week. Twenty-three patients were cured (46 %). Conclusions: this disease occurs more frequently since admission in older women, with history of arterial hypertension and smoking. The evolution and hospital stay depend on the risk factors and the personal pathological history of each patient.REFERENCES
