International audience. Introduction. - Endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has undergone a large increase in France since 2007. The aim is to study the evolution of the indications for EBUS-TBNA in our region during the period 2008-2013. Material and methods. - We conducted a retrospective observational study including all the patients who underwent an EBUS-TBNA procedure in Picardie from 2008 to 2013. The respective proportion for each indication was noted. Results. - During the study period, 1036 EBUS-TBNA procedures were performed with a continuous increase in number (86 in 2008 versus 275 in 2013). We observed an increase in the proportion of procedures performed for a suspected diagnosis of sarcoidosis (OR=1.31; IC 95% [1.09-1.58]; P=0.005) and for the simultaneous diagnosis and staging of lung cancer (OR =1.12; IC 95% [1.02-1.24]; P=0.022). For the diagnosis of sarcoidosis, we observed an improvement in the diagnostic yield between the periods [2008-2010] and [2011-201]] (42.9% versus 72.5%). Conclusion. - A continuous increase in the number of EBUS-TBNA procedures was observed during the period 2008-2013. It was associated with a modification in practice with an increased proportion of procedures performed for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. (C) 2017 SPLF. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
