patients (13.3%) were diagnosed with malignancy (bronchogenic carcinoma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and metastatic carcinoma with unknown primary). On six month follow up, mortality was 10% and all the patients who died were diagnosed with malignancy. One patient required readmission following discharge in the follow up period.
