Because pulmonary nodules are found in up to 25% of patients undergoing chest computed tomography, the question of whether to biopsy is becoming increasingly common. Data on complications following transthoracic needle lung biopsy are limited to case series from selected institutions. To determine population-based estimates of risks of complications following transthoracic needle biopsy of a pulmonary nodule. Cross-sectional analysis. The 2006 Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project’s State Ambulatory Surgery Databases and State Inpatient Databases for California, Florida, Michigan, and New York. 15,865 adults who underwent transthoracic needle biopsy of a pulmonary nodule. Percent of biopsies complicated by hemorrhage, any pneumothorax, and pneumothorax requiring chest tube, and adjusted odds ratios for these complications associated with various biopsy characteristics, calculated using multivariable population-averaged generalized estimating equations. Although hemorrhage was rare, complicating 1.0% (95% CI 0.9-1.2%) of biopsies, 17.8% (95% CI 11.8-23.8%) of patients with hemorrhage required a blood transfusion. By contrast, the risk of any pneumothorax was 15.0% (95% CI 14.0-16.0%), and 6.6% (95% CI 6.0-7.2%) of all biopsies resulted in a pneumothorax requiring chest tube. Compared to patients without complications, those who experienced hemorrhage or pneumothorax requiring chest tube had longer lengths of stay (p<0.001) and were more likely to develop respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation (p=0.02). Patients aged 60-69 years (as opposed to younger or older patients), smokers, and those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease had higher risk of complications. Estimated risks may be inaccurate if coding of complications is incomplete. The databases analyzed contain little clinical detail (e.g., nodule characteristics, biopsy pathology) and cannot determine whether biopsies produced useful information. While hemorrhage is an infrequent complication of transthoracic needle lung biopsy, pneumothorax is common and often necessitates chest tube placement. These population-based data should help patients and doctors make a more informed choice on whether to biopsy a pulmonary nodule.
