Literature Summary Table

PICOT QUESTION:

Among patients aged 25 to 65 years with suspected pulmonary Sarcoidosis in Panama City,

Florida, does mediastinoscopy and EBUS-guided lymph node sampling compared to no

intervention enhance clinical outcomes after six months of interventions?

 

QUANTITATIVE STUDIES

Author/Title/Year (APA format):

Mai et al. EBUS-TBNA Biopsy for Pulmonary Sarcoidosis Diagnosis. (2019).

Problem related to PICOT: Compared the efficacy of EBUS-TBNA+EBB and Mediastinoscopy with EBUS-TBNA+EBB in diagnosing Sarcoidosis.

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and safety of EBUS-TBNA for biopsy for pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Sample/Population: Seventy-eight patients with suspected sarcoidosis

Data Collection Method:  Retrospective selection of patients with thoracic sarcoidosis in Tianjin Chest Hospital from January 2014 to March 2017.  Imaging staging of the participants using chest X-ray and/or CT performance, biopsy procedure.

Major Findings/Conclusions: The positive rate of EBUS-TBNA+EBB and Mediastinoscopy was 100% which was significantly higher than that of EBUS-TBNA and EBB with statistical difference (0.05%). EBUS-TBNA is a safe and accurate biopsy technique. The diagnostic positive rate is similar to the mediastinoscopy with less postoperative complications, and medical costs.

Contribution to Review of the Literature:

The study confirms that EBUS-TBNA, which is safe, real-time, accurate, minimally invasive diagnostic technology that can accurately diagnose Sarcoidosis and help in adopting the right care.

 

Author/Title/Year (APA format)

Onat et al. The Role of Mediastinoscopy in the Diagnosis of Non-Lung Cancer Diseases. (2017).

Problem related to PICOT: Examines the role of mediastinoscopy in diagnosis of granulomatous disease such as sarcoidosis or tuberculosis.

Purpose: To determine the current role of mediastinoscopy in the investigation of non-lung cancer patients with mediastinal lymphadenopathy.

Sample/Population: Two-hundred twenty-nine patients without lung cancer.

Data Collection Method: Retrospective review of clinical parameters of all patients without lung cancer who consecutively underwent mediastinoscopy in Hospital of Faculty of Medicine of Dicle University between June 2003 and December 2016.

Major Findings/Conclusions:  Despite the increased use of newer diagnostic modalities to diagnose mediastinal diseases, mediastinoscopy continues to be a reliable method for the investigation of mediastinal lesions.

Contribution to Review of the Literature:

Assert the usefulness of mediastinoscopy in evaluating and diagnosing sarcoidosis. Recommends prospective studies that directly compare mediastinoscopy with new diagnostic methods such as EBUS and TBNA to diagnose noncancerous mediastinal adenopathy.

QUALITATIVE STUDIES

Author/Title/Year (APA format):

Madan et al. A Survey of Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) practices in India. (2022).

Problem related to PICOT:  Looks at endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), a standard of care modality for evaluating mediastinal lymphadenopathy and mediastinal lesions in adults.

Purpose: To study the current practices of EBUS-TBNA in India.

Sample: 134 respondents mostly pulmonologists or physicians.

Data Collection Method: Online questionnaires with survey questions related to demographics, sedation, analgesia and anesthesia, technical aspects, and infection control related to the procedure of EBUS-TBNA.

Key Findings/Themes: There is practice variability in the multiple aspects related technical performance of EBUS-TBNA. Evidence-based guidelines addressing the multiple technical aspects are required to standardize the practice of EBUS-TBNA.

Contribution to Review of the Literature:

EBUS-TBNA has an acceptable diagnostic yield and may avoid the need for invasive biopsy procedures.

 

Author/Title/Year (APA format):

Rosenblum et al. A Mass That Has No (EBUS) Echo. (2018).

Problem related to PICOT:  Use of Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) for diagnostic purposes after an abnormal chest CT

Purpose: To illustrate the importance of the Hounsfield units and ultrasound imaging in correctly diagnosing thin-walled para-tracheal pathologies.

Sample: A 40-year-old obese man with a history of hypertension, methamphetamine use, and heart failure presented to an outside ED with chest discomfort and shortness of breath.

Data Collection Method: Case Report

Key Findings/Themes: EBUS guided TBNA can be a useful tool in the diagnosis and treatment of bronchogenic cysts, particularly in patients that are sub-optimal surgical candidates.

Contribution to Review of the Literature:

The authors report that since undergoing EBUS guided TBNA, the patient reported a good functional outcome with total resolution of his symptoms and greatly improved exercise tolerance. The findings indicate that EBUS improves patient outcomes.

 

MIXED METHODS STUDIES:

Author/Title/Year (APA format):

Kampstra et al. First Patient-Centred Set of Outcomes for Pulmonary Sarcoidosis: A

Multicentre Initiative. (2019).

Problem related to PICOT: Pulmonary sarcoidosis

Purpose: To develop a standard set of outcome measures for pulmonary sarcoidosis, using the value-based healthcare principles.

Sample: Six expert clinics for interstitial lung diseases in four countries participated in a consensus-driven RAND-modified Delphi study.

Data Collection Method: Mixed method approach

Key Findings/Themes/Conclusions: Patient-centred outcomes have the potential to better
inform patients, healthcare providers and other stakeholders in achieving value-based care for patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Contribution to Review of the Literature:

Routine data collection based on standardized outcome measures creates an opportunity
to improve patient care. A reliable data collection process for patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis enables us to compare outcomes between various clinics/treatments,
which can ultimately help to identify best practices.

 

Author/Title/Year (APA format):

Sun et al. Endobronchial Ultrasound Elastography for Evaluation of Intrathoracic Lymph Nodes: A Pilot Study. (2017).

Problem related to PICOT: Use of EBUS-TBNA in Sarcoidosis diagnosis

Purpose: To utilize the feasibility of qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate the ability of EBUS elastography to differentiate between benign and malignant mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes (LNs) during EBUS-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA).

Sample: Fifty-six patients including 68 LNs (33 benign and 35 malignant nodes) were prospectively enrolled into this study and retrospectively analyzed.

Data Collection Method: Patients with enlarged intrathoracic LNs required for EBUS-TBNA examination at a clinical center for thoracic medicine from January 2014 to April 2014 were prospectively enrolled. EBUS sonographic characteristics on B-mode, vascular patterns and elastography, EBUS-TBNA procedures, pathological findings, and microbiological results were recorded. Further, more elastographic patterns (qualitative method) and the mean gray value inside the region of interest (quantitative method) were analyzed. Both methods were compared with a definitive diagnosis of the involved LNs.

Key Findings/Themes:

EBUS elastography is a promising method that allows for the differentiation of benign and malignant LNs with high sensitivity, specificity, and predictive accuracy, which
may offer important supplementary information in EBUS-TBNA cases

Contribution to Review of the Literature:

The study revealed that EBUS elastography could be useful in predicting malignant LNs with a high sensitivity of 85.71 and 91.43% and a diagnosis accuracy of 83.82 and 82.35%
based on qualitative and quantitative methods.

META-ANALYSIS STUDIES

Author/Title/Year (APA format):

Figueiredo et al. EBUS-TBNA versus surgical mediastinoscopy for mediastinal lymph
node staging in potentially operable non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review
and meta-analysis. (2020).

Problem related to PICOT: Use of EBUS-TBNA and mediastinoscopy

Purpose: To compare EBUS-TBNA and mediastinoscopy in terms of their effectiveness for mediastinal LN staging in potentially operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Search selection method: Systematic searches were conducted in the MEDLINE,
Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, Elton Bryson Stephens Company (EBSCO), LILACS, Brazilian Virtual Library of Health, and Scopus databases. Absolute numbers were collected directly from the text and separated into true positives, true negatives,
false positives, and false negatives.  Five studies were considered for meta-analysis of complications.

Meta-Analysis Model:  The Mantel-Haenszel fixed-effect model.

Consistency/Variation of Studies: All the studies were prospective sequential clinical
studies.

Summary of Findings:

EBUS-TBNA and mediastinoscopy achieved similar results for the mediastinal staging of lung cancer. EBUS-TBNA showed a performance and a safety profile that are good enough to replace mediastinoscopy altogether in the mediastinal staging for patients with potentially resectable NSCLC.

 

Author/Title/Year (APA format):

Kassirian et al. Effect of Needle Size on Diagnosis of Sarcoidosis with Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. (2021).

Problem related to PICOT:  Sarcoidosis diagnosis

Purpose: To evaluate if the use of the larger 19-gauge (G) needle with EBUS-TBNA improves diagnostic sensitivity in sarcoidosis.

Search selection method: Literature search of Embase and Medline and articles evaluated for bias using the QUADAS-2 tool.

Meta-Analysis Model: Binary random-effects model to determine pooled sensitivity

Consistency/Variation of Studies: The studies were relatively consistent.

Summary of Findings:  The studies had a pooled sensitivity for diagnosis of sarcoidosis of 83.99%. The use of 19G needles during EBUS-TBNA had the highest diagnostic sensitivity based on available studies.

CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES

Author/Title/Year (APA format):

Thillai et al. BTS Clinical Statement on Pulmonary Sarcoidosis. (2021).

Problem related to PICOT: Diagnosis, evaluation and management of pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Stakeholders represented: Clinicians expert opinion and accumulated clinical experience.

Systematic review of literature: Reviewed metanalyses studies and randomized control trials.

Strength of recommendations used: Weak

Recommendations have been peer reviewed: Yes

Summary of findings as related to PICOT:

EBUS-TBNA is an appropriate primary diagnostic approach for stage I and II sarcoidosis, variably combined with EBB, TBBx and BAL

 

Author/Title/Year (APA format):

Crouser et al. Diagnosis and Detection of Sarcoidosis. An Official American Thoracic Society Clinical Practice Guideline. (2020).

Problem related to PICOT: Guidelines on diagnosis and detection of Sarcoidosis

Stakeholders represented: Clinicians, patients, and payers.

Systematic review of literature: EBUS-guided lymph node sampling had a diagnostic yield of 87% while mediastinoscopy had a diagnostic yield of 98%.

Strength of recommendations used: Derived from nonrandomized studies thus very low-quality evidence.

Recommendations have been peer reviewed: Yes.

Summary of findings as related to PICOT:

For patients with suspected sarcoidosis and mediastinal and/or hilar lymphadenopathy for whom it has been determined that tissue sampling is necessary, the authors suggested EBUS-guided lymph node sampling, rather than mediastinoscopy, as the initial mediastinal and/or hilar lymph node sampling procedure (conditional recommendation, very low-quality evidence)
