What is the clinical value and optimal strategy of CBCT-assisted bronchoscopy in diagnosing PPLs? The references were searched from PubMed, EmBase, and Web of Science. Studies reporting diagnostic yield and potential influencing factors of CBCT-assisted bronchoscopy were included. The navigational success rate, diagnostic rate, complication rate, and potential influencing factors were pooled by random-effects model and meta-regression. A total of 1,441 patients with 1,540 lesions from 15 studies were included in our meta-analysis. The pooled navigational success rate (97.0% vs 81.6%; odds ratio [OR] 5.12) and diagnostic rate (78.5% vs 55.7%; OR 2.51) of the CBCT-assisted group were significantly higher than those without CBCT. The complication rate of CBCT-assisted bronchoscopy was 4.4% (95%CI: 0.02-0.07). Cone-beam CT combined with r-EBUS can achieve the highest diagnostic rate. Applying positive end-expiratory pressure could improve the diagnostic rate and reduce the complication rate (p < 0.05). Lesions located in the upper lobe could achieve a higher diagnostic rate and lesions located in the right lobes could get a lower complication rate (p < 0.05). Cone-beam CT combined with r-EBUS seems to be the effective and optimal approach to ameliorate the navigation success rate and diagnostic rate of diagnosing PPLs.<b>Clinical trial registration</b>: This study was registered in PROSPERO (Registration Number: CRD42022378992).
