Conventional Transbronchial Needle Aspiration Versus Endobronchial Ultrasound–guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration, With or Without Rapid On-Site Evaluation, for the Diagnosis of Sarcoidosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

When performing TBNA in the setting of suspected sarcoidosis, we found c-TBNA with ROSE and EBUS-TBNA (with or without ROSE) to be superior to c-TBNA alone. Whether c-TBNA with ROSE is equivalent to EBUS-TBNA cannot be determined from our study due to small sample size/low power.
