Efficacy and safety of cone-beam computed tomography-guided bronchoscopy for peripheral pulmonary lesions: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided bronchoscopy is increasingly utilized for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs). We carried out the meta-analysis for assessing the efficacy and safety of CBCT-guided bronchoscopy for PPLs.

Methods

An extensive search in several databases was conducted to identify relevant articles. We evaluated the quality of studies with the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) tool. The pooled diagnostic yield (DY) and adverse event rate with the 95% confidence interval (CI) were computed. Subgroup analyses were performed according to additional use of navigation, use of radial endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS), use of fixed or mobile CBCT, whether computed tomography (CT) spin was performed before biop
