Benign effusions were classified according to their etiology as: (1) Parapneumonic: non-purulent effusion associated with bacterial pneumonia, lung abscess, or bronchiectasis; (2) Empyema: presence of pus within the pleural space; (3) Tuberculous effusion: positive on Ziehl-Nielsen stain or Lowenstein-Jensen culture, or PF adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels>43IU/L with consistent symptoms and lymphocyte predominance; (4) Cardiac failure: based on history, physical examination, chest x-ray, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram (if available) and response to diuretic treatment; (5) Miscellaneous: effusion due to a miscellaneous disease that followed well- established clinical criteria; (6) Idiopathic: undiagnosed effusion after complementary examinations and after discussion at a multidisciplinary specific pleural disease session where clinical and radiological data were reviewed; if VATS was performed, surgical and pathological findings were also reviewed. Description of complementary exams (thorax CT, PET-CT and VATS) were recorded as negative if there was not suspicion of malignancy, positive when there is high suspicion of malignity and indeterminate if there is uncertainity.
