Total Protein–Chloride Ratio in Pleural Fluid Independently Predicts Overall Survival in Malignant Pleural Effusion at the First Diagnosis

Total Protein–Chloride Ratio in Pleural Fluid Independently Predicts Overall Survival in Malignant Pleural Effusion at the First Diagnosis

ObjectivePre-treatment biomarkers to estimate overall survival (OS) for malignant pleural effusion (MPE) are unidentified, especially those in pleural fluid. We evaluated the relationship between OS and total protein–chloride ratio in malignant pleural effusion (PE TPClR).Materials and MethodsA retr...
