Feasibility and accuracy of rapid on-site evaluation of touch imprint cytology during transbronchial biopsy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) of cytologic material is widely performed because it provides clinicians with instant diagnostic information. However, the utility of ROSE of touch imprint cytology (ROSE-TIC) during transbronchial biopsy (TBB) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of ROSE-TIC for TBB.

Methods

A retrospective study was performed on patients who underwent diagnostic bronchoscopy combined with ROSE-TIC. The results of ROSE-TIC, diagnosed as either positive or negative for malignancy, were compared with the histological findings and final diagnosis. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and diagnostic accuracy were calculated. The success rate of mol
