Abstract

Summary: Recurrence is the main risk of progression of spontaneous pneumothorax (PNX).The recurrence rate varies according to the authors between 20 and 60%. To determine the factors predicting recurrence of pneumothorax in our population, a retrospective analytical study was conducted over a period of five years between April 2010 and 2016, covering 46 cases of patients hospitalized for recurrentspontaneous pneumothorax. The smoking status of patients, the profession and the non-respect of hygiene rules remain in our context the main predictive factors for recurrence.
