Thirty four subjects were obtained, and the subjects were then divided into 2
groups, pleurodesis using 10% povidone iodine and pleurodesis using
oxytetracycline. The success of pleurodesis then recorded and assessed.
Result
Table 1 shows the characteristic data of the study. Patients range of age in
10% povidone iodine group (n = 17 patients) was 16-72 years with mean of
47.2 13.5 years old and median of 45 years old; while in the
oxytetracycline group (n = 17 patients) was 29-69 years with mean of 50.8
11.0 years old and a median of 51 years old. Sex of the patient was
distributed almost equally in both groups, where women were more
dominant, both in 10% povidone iodine group (76.5%) and oxytetracycline
group (88.2%). The primary tumor type in patients was dominated by
