Methods to increase the diagnostic efficiency of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration for solid pancreatic lesions: An updated review

Table 1 Characteristics of the study

Ref.	Number of patients	Study design	Result (Diagnosis accuracy)
Karsenti et al[68]	60	Randomized controlled trial	87% with 22G needle and 67% with 20G needle for FNB, P = 0.02
Yousri et al[69]	100	Prospective study	98% with FNA and 90% with FNB only depending on tissue
Crinò et al[70]	800	Randomized controlled non-inferiority trial	96.4% with ROSE and 97.4% without ROSE, P = 0.396
Facciorusso et al[71]	2147	Meta-analysis	FNB with ROSE group better than the FNB only group (OR = 2.49, 1.08-5.73; P = 0.03)

FNA: Fine-needle aspiration; ROSE: Rapid on-site evaluation; FNB: Fine-needle biopsy.
