Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association of smoking with the outcomes of percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB).
Methods: In total, 4668 PTNBs for pulmonary lesions were retrospectively identified. The associations of smoking status (never, former, current smokers) and smoking intensity (≤ 20, 21-40, > 40 pack-years) with diagnostic results (malignancy, non-diagnostic pathologies, and false-negative results in non-diagnostic pathologies) and complications (pneumothorax and hemoptysis) were assessed using multivariable logistic regression analysis.
Results: Among the 4668 PTNBs (median age of the patients, 66 years [interquartile range, 58-74]; 2715 men), malignancies, non-diagnostic pathologies, and specific benign pathologies were identified in 3054 (65.4%), 1282 (27.5%), and 332 PTNBs (7.1%), respectively. False-negative results for malignancy occurred in 20.5% (236/1153) of non-diagnostic pathologies with decidable reference standards. Current smoking was associated with malignancy (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-1.69; p = 0.03) and false-negative results (OR, 2.64; 95% CI: 1.32-5.28; p = 0.006), while heavy smoking (> 40 pack-years) was associated with non-diagnostic pathologies (OR, 1.69; 95% CI: 1.19-2.40; p = 0.003) and false-negative results (OR, 2.12; 95% CI: 1.17-3.92; p = 0.02). Pneumothorax and hemoptysis occurred in 21.8% (1018/4668) and 10.6% (495/4668) of PTNBs, respectively. Heavy smoking was associated with pneumothorax (OR, 1.33; 95% CI: 1.01-1.74; p = 0.04), while heavy smoking (OR, 0.64; 95% CI: 0.40-0.99; p = 0.048) and current smoking (OR, 0.64; 95% CI: 0.42-0.96; p = 0.04) were inversely associated with hemoptysis.
Conclusion: Smoking history was associated with the outcomes of PTNBs. Current and heavy smoking increased false-negative results and changed the complication rates of PTNBs.
Clinical relevance statement: Smoking status and intensity were independently associated with the outcomes of PTNBs. Non-diagnostic pathologies should be interpreted cautiously in current or heavy smokers. A patient's smoking history should be ascertained before PTNB to predict and manage complications.
Key points: • Smoking status and intensity might independently contribute to the diagnostic results and complications of PTNBs. • Current and heavy smoking (> 40 pack-years) were independently associated with the outcomes of PTNBs. • Operators need to recognize the association between smoking history and the outcomes of PTNBs.

European Radiology (ER) continuously updates scientific knowledge in radiology by publication of strong original articles and state-of-the-art reviews written by leading radiologists. A well balanced combination of review articles, original papers, short communications from European radiological congresses and information on society matters makes ER an indispensable source for current information in this field.
This is the Journal of the European Society of Radiology, and the official journal of a number of societies.
From 2004-2008 supplements to European Radiology were published under its companion, European Radiology Supplements, ISSN 1613-3749.
