Light’s Criteria Versus Costa’s Criteria in Differentiating Transudative & Exudative Pleural Effusions

Light’s Criteria Versus Costa’s Criteria in Differentiating Transudative & Exudative Pleural Effusions

Introduction: Aim of this study is to compare COSTA’S and LIGHT’S criteria in identifying exudative from transudative pleural effusions.Materials & Methods: A prospective study that is hospital-based was conducted at GHCCD, during Jan 2017 to August 2018 in 80 patients who presented with pleural...
