=== Newborn infants === Pneumothorax is more common in neonates than in any other age group. The incidence of symptomatic neonatal is estimated to be around 1-3 per 1000 live births. Prematurity, low birth weight and asphyxia are the major risk factors, and a majority of newborn infant cases occur during the first 72 hours of life.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Vibede |first1=Louise |last2=Vibede |first2=Emil |last3=Bendtsen |first3=Mette |last4=Pedersen |first4=Lia |last5=Ebbesen |first5=Finn |date=2016-12-24 |title=Neonatal Pneumothorax: A Descriptive Regional Danish Study |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1159/000453029 |journal=Neonatology |volume=111 |issue=4 |pages=303β308 |doi=10.1159/000453029 |pmid=28013308 |s2cid=4314067 |issn=1661-7800|url-access=subscription }}</ref><ref name=":0">{{cite journal | vauthors = Bruschettini M, Romantsik O, Zappettini S, O'Donnell CP, Calevo MG | title = Needle aspiration versus intercostal tube drainage for pneumothorax in the newborn | journal = The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews | volume = 2019 | pages = CD011724 | date = February 2019 | issue = 2 | pmid = 30707441 | pmc = 6357997 | doi = 10.1002/14651858.CD011724.pub3 }}</ref><ref name="doi.org"/>
