Abstract
Background: The diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules (PPNs) still is the key and difficult point. Previous studies have demonstrated that the diagnostic yield of radial endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS) visible nodules is significantly higher than that of invisible nodules. The traditional method of predicting the rEBUS-visibility of nodules is based on the CT-bronchus signs, but its effectiveness may be unsatisfactory. Objective: We innovate a valuable predictive model based on virtual bronchoscopic navigation to identify beforehand which PPNs are likely to be successfully visualized by rEBUS. The innovative predictor is the ratio of the size of lesions (S) to the shortest straight-line distance (D) from the terminal point of the virtual navigation path to the localization point of the nodule. Methods: This is a retrospective study. On the training dataset of 214 patients, a receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to understand the utility of the predictive model and get the optimal cut-off points. Ninety-two cases were enrolled in the validation dataset to validate the external predictive accuracy of the predictor. Results: The optimal cut-off point of the curve was 1.84 with the Youden index of 0.65, at which point the area under the curve was 0.85 (95% CI: 0.76-0.95). The predictor has a good performance in the validation dataset with sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of 81%, 100%, 100%, 71%, and 87%, respectively. Conclusion: The S/D ratio is a valuable and innovative method to identify beforehand which PPNs are likely to be successfully visualized by rEBUS. If the S/D ratio of the nodule is greater than 1.84, it will be visualized by rEBUS.

J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11195894. [PMID: 36233761 PMCID: PMC9571067 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11195894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2022] [Revised: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
This research evaluated the diagnostic accuracy and complication rate of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy (PTNB) in patients 80 years and older. The study sought to identify risk factors for diagnostic failures or complications of PTNBs. We examined 247 CT-guided PTNBs performed from January 2017 through December 2020, noting patient demographics, lesion or procedure types, pathology reports, and other procedure-related complications. Study groups were divided into two: one with patients aged 80 years and older (Group 1) and the other with patients aged 60 to 80 years (Group 2). The research first determined each groups’ diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic failure rate, and complication rate and then evaluated the risk factors for diagnostic failures and complications. The diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic failure rates were 95.6%, 94.9%, 100%, and 18.9%, respectively, in Group 1. The overall and major complication rates in Group 1 were 29.6% and 3.7%, respectively. Lesion size was the only risk factor for diagnostic failure (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.46; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.24–0.90). There was no significant risk factor for complications in Group 1. CT-guided PTNBs in patients 80 years and older indicate comparable diagnostic accuracy and complication rates.
