Fig 1 Outcomes of all 249 patients in the study. As indicated by bold typeface, after multivariate analysis, age (p < 0.01), pleural effusion (p < 0.01), and increased white blood cell count (p < 0.01) were significantly associated with esophageal perforation. (CT = computed tomography; w/ = with; Xray = radiograph.)
