2019, Biology of Blood and Marrow TransplantationCitation Excerpt :SLB is uniquely valuable in that it provides tissue for histopathologic interrogation even though the reported diagnostic yield is variable, ranging from 37% to 97% [12,15-17]. The impact of SLB on the management of HSCT recipients with pulmonary complications is not clear because subsequent changes in therapy are reported to occur in 40% to 90% of patients [17-21]. Furthermore, complication rates after SLB have been reported in 11% to 15% of adult recipients and may be higher (12% to 47%) in pediatric recipients [16-20].

2018, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :HCT and non-HCT pediatric patients with different severity of their diseases are usually included together in these studies which makes interpretation difficult. A prior report from our institution studied 19 HCT pediatric patients who underwent an open SLB between June 1991 and December 1998 [16]. In this series, a therapy change was found in 90% of the patients with a clinical improvement in 42%.
