Age, CCI, APACHE score, SOFA score, and bilateral distribution were associated with mortality in 1 month, while CCI, APACHE score, SOFA score, and malignant etiology were associated with mortality in 1 year. OR, Odds Ratio; CIs, confidence intervals; HF, heart failure; MPE, malignant pleural effusion; PPE, parapneumonic pleural effusion.
