Patients were followed for 2\u2009years; the primary endpoint was sensitivity for malignancy with diagnostic yield, and safety as secondary endpoints. Multilevel logistic regression models were used to control for factors associated with sensitivity and diagnostic yield.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 305 procedures were performed across 6 centers. Median nodule size was 17.0\u2009mm (IQR, 14.0-23.0) with bronchus sign present in 37% of cases. Sensitivity for malignancy through 2\u2009years was 81.3% (95% CI, 75.7%-86.1%). Multilevel modeling demonstrated that female sex, smaller nodule size, lower lobe location, semi-solid density, and higher body mass index were associated with lower sensitivity. Diagnostic yield was 74.1% (95% CI, 68.8%-78.9%) according to the American Thoracic Society\/American College of Chest Physicians (ATS\/ACCP) criteria and 77.5% (95% CI, 72.4%-81.8%) according to the intermediate criteria. Multilevel modeling demonstrated a nonsignificant site\/center-level effect on ATS\/ACCP diagnostic yield (P\u2009=\u2009.36). Pneumothorax requiring intervention was 1.6% (5\/305); bleeding was 1.0% (3\/305) with 2 Nashville grade 2 events and one Nashville grade 3 event.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The first iteration of ssRAB demonstrated encouraging performance and a strong safety profile among nascent users for the biopsy of small peripheral nodules.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/annalsats\/aaoag049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,3]],"date-time":"2026-03-03T08:12:45Z","timestamp":1772525565000},"page":"1360-1368","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The PRECIsE study: a prospective, multicenter study of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with 2 years of follow-up"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"David E","family":"Ost","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center , Houston, TX,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erik E","family":"Folch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital\u2013Harvard Medical School , Boston, MA,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janani S","family":"Reisenauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Medicine and Thoracic Surgery, Mayo Clinic , Rochester, MN,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adnan","family":"Majid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery and Interventional Pulmonology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center\u2013Harvard Medical School , Boston, MA,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberto F","family":"Casal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center , Houston, TX,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Colleen","family":"Keyes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital\u2013Harvard Medical School , Boston, MA,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mihir S","family":"Parikh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery and Interventional Pulmonology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center\u2013Harvard Medical School , Boston, MA,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"Diaz-Mendoza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Henry Ford Hospital , Detroit, MI,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sebastian","family":"Fernandez-Bussy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Mayo Clinic , Jacksonville, FL,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael J","family":"Simoff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Henry Ford Hospital , Detroit, MI,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026082716213382300_aaoag049-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e93S","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.12-2351","article-title":"Evaluation of individuals with pulmonary nodules: when is it lung cancer?
