Non-linear association of plasma level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol with endobronchial biopsy bleeding in patients with lung cancer

摘要

BackgroundDespite a large body of studies have demonstrated the multifaceted behavior of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) in several physiological and pathological processes, the levels of plasma HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) that may be associated with endobronchial biopsy (EBB)-related bleeding have never been examined.
