Complication incidence after endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy: A single-center experience

Table 2 Distribution of specific complications according to the endoscopist’s years of experience

Complications	Years of experience of the endoscopist			Significance, P value
	0-3	3-5	More than 5
Pancreatitis	0	1	0	0.299
Bleeding	1	2	0	0.260
Perforations	2	2	0	0.250
Infections	0	0	0	N/A
Lethality	0	0	0	N/A

While no complications were recorded in procedures performed by the most experienced endoscopist (with more than 5 years of experience), pancreatitis, bleeding, and perforations were observed among endoscopists with less experience. No infections or lethal outcomes occurred in the study population. Differences did not reach statistical significance. N/A: Not applicable.
