Abstract

Background: The bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) recovery rate should generally be more than 30% for effective diagnosis. However, there have been no reports investigating a target bronchus for BAL, and the cause of BAL recovery failure is uncertain. Therefore, this study detected predictive factors for BAL recovery failure through investigations on a target bronchus for BAL by using a 3D image analysis system. Therefore, this study detected predictive factors for BAL recovery failure. Materials and methods: We retrospectively collected data from 338 adult patients who underwent BAL procedures at Fukujuji Hospital from June 2018-March 2022. Factors correlated with the BAL recovery rate were detected. Furthermore, the patients were divided into the failure group (recovery rate
