Table 2. Diagnostic yield of the three different diagnostic modalities.

Variable	TBB*,†	BB	BW
Benign	42/64 (65.6)‡	7/64 (10.9)	14/64 (21.9)§
Malignant	35/87 (40.2)	11/87 (12.6)	3/87 (3.4)
Total	77/151 (51.0)	18/151 (11.9)	17/151 (11.3)

Values are presented as number (%).

^*p<0.001, McNemar's test between diagnostic yields of TBB vs. BB. ^†p<0.001, McNemar's test between diagnostic yields of TBB vs. BW. ^‡p=0.003, chi-square analysis between diagnostic yields for malignant vs. benign lesions. ^§p=0.001, chi-square analysis between diagnostic yields for malignant vs. benign lesions.

TBB: transbronchial biopsy; BB: bronchial brushing; BW: bronchial washing.
