Multivariate Analysis to Predict Pneumothorax Diagnosis on Chest X-ray. The forest plot presents the odds ratio of multivariate logistic regression to predict pneumothorax (PNX) on chest X-ray (CXR) 2-h post-lung biopsy. The sampled lesion’s distance from the pleura and detected bleeding on immediate post-procedure CT are the only significant predictors in the model. Deeper lesions predict higher rates of PNX (p < 0.001) and detected bleeding seems to have a protective effect (p = 0.004). OR - Odds Ratio; CI- Confidence Interval
