Objective: To develop and validate a risk scoring system using variables easily obtained for the prediction of pneumothorax in CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB). Methods: The derivation cohort was comprised of 1001 patients who underwent CT-guided PTNB. Multivariate logistic re- gression was used to identify risk factors for pneumothorax, which were treated as the foundation to develop the risk scoring system. To validate the system, a validation cohort group of 230 patients was enrolled. Results: Age, puncture times, puncture depth, smoking index, number of specimens, bleeding from the needle path, and lobular lesion were identified as risk factors in the derivation cohort. A risk scoring system (Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test p =0.33) was developed. The area under the receiver operat.. Read More»
