Liver damage is initiated by the presentation of a self-antigenic peptide within a major histocompatibility molecule (MHC) by professional antigen presenting cells (APCs). The presence of appropriate costimulation alongside exposure to various cytokines drives the differentiation of uncommitted CD4 helper T-cells (Th0). IL-6 and IL-1β lead to differentiation into pathogenic Th17 cells that secrete the proinflammatory cytokine IL-17. Th17 cells promote hepatocyte secretion of IL-6, which in turn further enhances Th17 development. Exposure to IL-12 leads to the differentiation of Th1 cells secreting IFN-γ, which induces monocyte (MΦ) differentiation, activates cytotoxic CD8 T-cells and promotes NK cell killing. IFN-γ also increases MHC class I and induces class II expression by hepatocytes, further exacerbating inflammation. Exposure to IL-4 leads to Th2 differentiation. Th2 cells secrete IL-13, IL-4 and IL-10 that enable B cell maturation into plasma cells with the consequent production of autoantibodies.

They establish that drainage should be strongly considered if any of the following factors are present: pus (empyema), large effusions (≥1/2 of the hemithorax on a chest radiograph), positive pleural fluid cultures or pleural fluid pH <7.20. However, these recommendations are based on limited evidence, mainly small case series and expert opinions. In the last few years, a number of promising CPPE pleural fluid markers, such as the C-reactive protein (CRP), have been tested, but none have gained acceptance in daily practice.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We sought to determine, in the largest series reported to date, the utility of the preceding radiological and pleural fluid findings as indicators of the need for chest drainage in the setting of PPE.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0070">Subjects and methods</span><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We carried out a retrospective review of all consecutive adult patients subjected to a diagnostic thoracentesis at the Arnau de Villanova University Hospital (Lleida, Spain) during the last 20 years, whose final diagnosis was established to be a PPE.

Empyema was defined as pus within the pleural space. Patients with pleural infections unrelated to pneumonic processes (e.g., surgery, sub-diaphragmatic infections, esophageal perforation, trauma, spontaneous bacterial pleuritis, septicemia) and those who died before hospital discharge were excluded from the analysis. CPPE were defined as those effusions requiring chest drainage (mainly tube thoracotomy and, less commonly, therapeutic thoracenteses or surgery). In contrast, uncomplicated PPE (UPPE) described those that were resolved with antibiotics only. Decisions on whether to insert a chest tube were made by the attending physicians.</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The following parameters were recorded: demographics, size and laterality of pleural effusions on chest radiographs, purulent fluid appearance, pleural fluid cultures and pleural fluid biochemistries. The latter included red blood cell count, leukocyte count and differential, protein, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), adenosine deaminase (ADA), CRP, glucose and pH. Effusion size was evaluated from a posteroanterior radiological viewpoint, whenever possible, by visually estimating the area of the lung filled with pleural fluid. For example, when the meniscus of the fluid reached the hilum, the effusion was deemed to occupy half of the hemithorax.</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The aspirated fluid was immediately transferred from syringe to sterile heparinized tubes for analyses.

Measures of diagnostic accuracy (i.e., sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio (LR), odds ratio (OR), area under the curve (AUC)) for tests that identified a CPPE were calculated. For a test to have clinically meaningful discriminative properties the LR positive needs to be greater than 3, and the LR negative less than 0.3.
