Proposal for a computed tomography score to predict major complications requiring hospitalization after percutaneous lung biopsy: a single-center retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Image-guided percutaneous lung biopsy (PLB) may lead to major complications requiring hospitalization. This study aims to evaluate the rate of major PLB complications and determine a predictive computed tomography (CT) score to define patients requiring hospitalization due to these complications.

Methods

This single-center retrospective study included all PLBs performed from July 2019 to December 2020 in Nimes University Hospital, France. Patients who were undergoing thermo-ablation during the same procedure or for whom PLB procedure data were not available were excluded. All major complications leading to hospitalization were recorded. A Percutaneous Image-guided Lung biopsy In/out Patient score (PILIP) based on variables significantly associated with major compl
