Summary of average drug detection rates per study sample
| Biopsy sample ID | Biopsy type | Number of sections analysed | Number of sections with drug observed | % Success | Average % success for endobronchial samples |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4A | Transbronchial | 25 | 5 | 20 | |
| 4B | Endobronchial | 26 | 5 | 19 | |
| 4C | Endobronchial | 12 | 8 | 67 | |
| 4D | Endobronchial | 8 | 3 | 38 | 34.8 |
| 5A | Transbronchial | 14 | 1 | 7 | |
| 5B | Endobronchial | 8 | 6 | 75 | |
| 5C | Endobronchial | 8 | 8 | 100 | |
| 5D | Endobronchial | 4 | 4 | 100 | 90.0 |
| 6A | Transbronchial | 12 | 1 | 8 | |
| 6B | Transbronchial | 12 | 0 | 0 | |
| 6C | Endobronchial | 9 | 1 | 11 | |
| 6D | Endobronchial | 11 | 4 | 36 | 23.5* |
| 6E† | Endobronchial | 7 | 0 | 0† | 25† |
| 8A | Transbronchial | 11 | 4 | 36 | |
| 8B | Endobronchial | 7 | 1 | 14 | |
| 8C | Endobronchial | 9 | 2 | 22 | |
| 8D | Endobronchial | 5 | 3 | 60 | 28.6 |
*Average success rate while incorporating sample 6E is 23.5%
†Due to issues we had with generating suitable sections from sample 6E for MALDI-MS imaging we have recalculated the average success for sample 6 excluding the data from biopsy E, updated result is 25%
