The records of 81 @entity1 with a diagnosis of @entity3822 who underwent surgical treatment were examined to assess the effectiveness of diagnosis and therapy. A false-positive diagnosis occurred in 10 @entity1 (12%); seven had @entity296 . Of 51 variables examined, only a low right ventricular end-diastolic pressure (RVEDP) significantly and independently predicted diagnostic error. Seventy-one @entity1 with @entity3822 underwent pericardiectomy. Mean follow-up was 4.7 years (maximum 12), and only two @entity1 were untraceable. The study population was notable: 42 @entity1 had visceral as well as parietal pericardial involvement; 32 had @entity191 and 25 had @entity2396 related to radiation therapy. Results were favorable in 83% of the population. There were seven in-hospital deaths (10%). Actuarial survival estimates were 74% and 64% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. Compared with a normal population, the survival rate of @entity1 with postradiation @entity3822 was significantly inferior, whereas the survival rate of the remaining @entity1 was not significantly different. @entity1 with @entity3822 and @entity296 did no better than those with @entity296 alone. Additionally, @entity1 in NYHA functional class IV had a significantly worse prognosis. Multivariate analysis of 38 preoperative variables identified high RVEDP as a significant independent predictor of in-hospital death, and @entity8 and diuretic use were significant independent predictors of overall poor outcome. Differentiation between the diagnosis of @entity3822 and @entity296 remains a problem. Radiation therapy, @entity2396 with @entity296 , high RVEDP, NYHA class IV status, @entity8 , and diuretic use adversely influenced outcome in @entity1 undergoing pericardiectomy.
