Predictive Value of Endobronchial Sonographic Patterns in Diagnosis of Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy

Egypt50 participantsStarted 2024-05-30

Plain-language summary

This study aims to assess the value of endosonographic patterns of EBUS bronchoscopy in diagnosis of patients with mediastinal lymphadenopathy and correlate it with the histopathological diagnosis.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years. * patients who underwent chest enhanced CT before EBUS-TBNA examination to assess the nature of mediastinal and hilar enlarged lymph nodes. Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindication to needle biopsy (e.g. use of anticoagulation drugs, bleeding diathesis). * Patients unfit for bronchoscopy and general anaesthesia by international guidelines. * Lymph Nodes that are not accessible or technically difficult by EBUS-TBNA e.g. Station 5,6.

What they're measuring

1- evaluate the morphological characteristics of mediastinal LNs in real time 2- assess the nature of LNs before puncturing either benign or malignant using EBUS and corelate them with the histopathological outcome.

Timeframe: 2 years
