PE: pleural effusion; IPC: indwelling pleural catheter. Group 1: IPC within 1 week of onset. Group 2: IPC after 1 week of onset. LOS: length of stay; ACS: abdominal compartment syndrome; ANP: acute necrosis pancreatitis; VST: ventilator supporting time; PCD: percutaneous catheter drainage; MID: minimally invasive debridement. Significant difference.
