Table 5.

Influence on the diagnosis of distance from lesion to pleura

Distance EBUS-GS (n, %) ENB-EBUS (n, %) χ2 P1
d<1 cm 18/25 (72) 11/15 (73.3) 0.008 1
1≤d<3 cm 32/40 (80) 4/9 (44.4) 4.765 0.043
d≥3 cm 15/18 (83.3) 2/2 (100) 0.392 1
χ2 0.921 3.221
P2 0.636 0.151

Note that when the lesion was d≥1 cm and situated <3 cm from the pleura, the diagnostic rate of EBUS-GS (80%) was higher than the diagnostic rate of ENB-EBUS (44.4%).
