Complications of pneumothorax in computed tomography-guided transthoracic needle biopsy and prognostic factors: study on patients with tumor-like lung lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transthoracic biopsy has proven to be an effective procedure, especially for peripheral lung lesions, in obtaining samples that can definitively diagnose the underlying pathology. Despite its effectiveness, studies have demonstrated that it is associated with complications such as pneumothorax and hemoptysis. This study aims to evaluate the incidence of these complications and identify prognostic factors in patients who underwent a transthoracic biopsy.

Methods

This retrospective cohort analysis included adults from Thu Duc City Hospital, a sub-urban hospital who underwent transthoracic biopsy from 2017 to 2022. Complications that were evaluated included pneumothorax and hemoptysis. Separate logistic regression models estimated the association of pneumothorax or h
