  • The outcome of diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions was made for each arm of the decision model;
  • Long-term outcomes were equivalent in each model arm;
  • Once a diagnosis is made, regardless of method of diagnosis, downstream medical care costs were the same;
  • Thoracotomy/thoracoscopy had a diagnostic accuracy of 100% for evaluation of peripheral pulmonary lesions;
  • Regardless of how tissue samples were obtained, pathology costs were equal in each model arm.

CBA: cost-benefit analysis; CEA: cost effectiveness analysis; CT-PNB: computed tomography-guided percutaneous needle biopsy; EBUS-TBLB: endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial lung biopsy
