What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the rate of fever after the removal of drainage tube

    we test the temperature of the patient in 24h after the removal of tube, we define fever if the temperature is higher than 37.8 degree

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. the level of WBC

    we compare the change of the level of WBC of two groups in 24h after the removal of the drainage tube

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. the level of CRP

    we compare the change of the level of CRP of two groups in 24h after the removal of the drainage tube

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. the level of ESR

    we compare the change of the level of ESR of two groups in 24h after the removal of the drainage tube

    Measured: 24 hours

  4. the temperature

    we compare the change of the level of temperature of two groups in 24h after the removal of the drainage tube

    Measured: 24 hours
