چکیده
BACKGROUND The overall safety of surgical lung biopsy in patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) remains controversial. This study was performed to investigate the mortality and complication rate and identify the risk factors for surgical lung biopsy in patients with IIP. METHODS A total of 200 patients with IIP who underwent surgical lung biopsy at the Asan Medical Center, Korea, from April 1990 to August 2003, were enrolled. Complications and mortality were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS (1) The mortality rate 30 days after the surgical lung biopsy was 4.3%, which was significantly higher than the control group. Biopsy performed at the time of acute exacerbation (AE) resulted in higher 30-day mortality (28.6%) compared to non-AE (3.0%; p<0.05). AE was followed by biopsy itself in three cases. (2) Univariate analysis indicated that lower FVC, lower DL(CO), and presence of AE were significant risk factors for 30-day mortality (p<0.05). However, multivariate analysis revealed that only AE (OR: 11.334, 95% CI: 1.727-74.365, p=0.011) was an independent risk factor. (3) The patients with low DL(CO) (<50% predicted) had higher mortality and complication rate than high DL(CO) group. CONCLUSION Our data suggested that the presence of acute exacerbation at the time of biopsy and lower DL(CO) were predictors of higher mortality after the surgical lung biopsy.

High short-term mortality following lung biopsy for usual interstitial pneumonia.
Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is a specific histological pattern of interstitial pneumonia most often associated with the clinical syndrome of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). There is controversy regarding the use of surgical lung biopsy in the diagnosis of UIP, and the risk of lung biopsy in these patients is largely unknown. This study investigated the 30 day surgical mortality rate...
متن کاملTransbronchial cryobiopsy in diffuse parenchymal lung disease
The evaluation of patients with diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD), particularly the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIP), often requires a multidisciplinary team approach. A surgical lung biopsy may be necessary for a confident diagnosis, particularly in patients with atypical clinical/radiological presentations.1 However, surgical lung biopsies carry a risk of serious complications,...
متن کاملLung biopsy in patients with usual interstitial pneumonia.
We read with interest the recent report titled "High short-term mortality following lung biopsy for usual interstitial pneumonia" by UTZ et al. [1]. The major implications of this study are that there is a high short-term mortality following surgical lung biopsy for usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), and that this high risk of death is related to the procedure itself. Given the importance of s...
متن کاملClinical significance of histological classification of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.
Patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) can be subdivided into groups based on the histological appearance of lung tissue obtained by surgical biopsy. The quantitative impact of histological diagnosis, baseline factors and response to therapy on survival has not been evaluated. Surgical lung biopsy specimens from 168 patients with suspected IIP were reviewed according to the lat...
متن کاملEfficacy and safety of surgical lung biopsy for interstitial disease. Experience of 161 consecutive patients from a single institution in Italy.
BACKGROUND The role of surgical biopsy for interstitial lung disease (ILD) is controversial, because of possible postoperative morbidity and mortality. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of surgical biopsy for ILD. METHODS We retrospectively analysed the diagnostic performance and the postoperative complications of 161 consecutive surgical lung biopsy procedures carried out in suspect...
