简要总结
The main objective of the study is to assess the cost-effectiveness ratio of two management strategies of pleurisy in adults : a strategy by systematic thoracic ultrasound versus a strategy without thoracic ultrasound.
详细描述
Comparison of two management strategies pleural effusions from diagnosis and during the first year of follow up care.
Patients are randomized into two groups, each group receiving a different management strategy.
Both strategies are compared:
Strategy A that involves the systematic use of thoracic ultrasound for the treatment of pleural effusion, treatment and follow up care. It will be possible to have recourse to other tests (such as chest CT) if deemed necessary by the practitioner.
Strategy B, which consists of the usual care pleurisy and thus without use of ultrasound: gestures are guided either by chest radiograph or by CT chest as necessary in the treatment and monitoring. A systematic radiographic pleural after each gesture is performed.

结局指标
主要结局
The cost-effectiveness ration
时间窗: 1 year
Cost estimates will be conducted from the perspective of health insurance. The expenses incurred in the care of patients with pleurisy will be counted in both groups during the follow-up year. The effectiveness will be assessed against the complications of strategy (pneumothorax, respiratory sequelae, surgery, mortality, chest pain sequelae, radiological consequences).
次要结局
- The duration of hospitalization(1 year)
