In-hospital mortality following surgical lung biopsy for interstitial lung disease in the USA: 2000-2011 [PDF]
, 2016 Rationale: Surgical lung biopsy can help to determine a specific diagnosis in interstitial lung disease, but has associated risks. Most currently available mortality data are derived from case series and may not be generalizable to broader populations.
