Patients with a clinicopathological diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) may have typical findings usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) on computed tomography (CT) or nonspecific atypical findings, including those often seen in pneumonia.The aims this study were to revisit the high-resolution CT IPF and clarify correlation between mortality.The included 98 patients histologic UIP clinical IPF. Two observers evaluated independently classified each case into one following three...
To investigate the risk factors and prognosis associated with acute exacerbation (AE) in patients rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD).A retrospective case-control study.A single academic hospital.51 consecutive diagnosed RA-ILD between 1995 2012. All fulfilled diagnostic criteria of American College Rheumatology for RA. ILD was on basis clinical presentation, pulmonary function tests, high-resolution CT (HRCT) findings biopsy findings.Overall survival...
To describe the pulmonary CT findings in patients with anti-ARS-antibody-positive interstitial lung disease (anti-ARS-ILD) METHODS: The of 64 anti-ARS-ILD were retrospectively reviewed. images reviewed independently by 2 chest radiologists, and final decision on was made a third radiologist.There 16 male 48 female patients, aged 54.2±13.4 years. Sixteen had anti Jo-1, 24 anti-EJ, 9 anti-PL-7, 7 anti-PL-12, 5 anti-KS, 3 anti-OJ antibodies. Overall, 63 (98.4%) predominantly lower lobe; 61...
To retrospectively analyze computed tomographic (CT) findings of chronic idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) and to determine which are most helpful for distinguishing IIP from usual (UIP) with univariate multivariate analyses.Institutional review board approval informed consent were not required this retrospective patient records images. Two observers working independently without knowledge the diagnosis evaluated extent distribution various thin-section CT (ground-glass opacity,...
In polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM), anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (ARS) antibodies are closely associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD), a frequent pulmonary complication. However, the clinical significance of anti-ARS is not well established.We aimed to evaluate in PM/DM-ILD patients.Forty-eight consecutive patients were studied retrospectively. Anti-ARS screened by ELISA and confirmed RNA immunoprecipitation test. Medical records, high-resolution computed tomography images,...
Radiologic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE)-like lesion including pulmonary apical cap can be occasionally observed in clinical settings. However, the significance of radiologic PPFE-like is unclear connective tissue disease (CTD)-related interstitial lung (ILD).A total 113 patients with CTD-related ILD were enrolled and assessed for lesion, which was defined as bilateral, upper lobe, subpleural dense consolidations or without pleural thickening on chest high-resolution computed...
Multidisciplinary discussion (MDD) requiring close communication between specialists (clinicians, radiologists and pathologists) is the gold standard for diagnosis of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs). However, MDD by not always feasible because they are often separated time location. An online database would facilitate data sharing MDD. Our aims were to develop a nationwide cloud-based integrated containing clinical, radiological pathological patients with IIPs along web-based...
To assess the variability of computed tomography (CT) patterns in patients with pathologic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and to evaluate correlation CT new idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) classification guidelines, including diagnosis predicted mortality.The ethical review boards five institutions that contributed cases waived need for informed consent retrospective patient records images. The study included 114 (a) a NSIP (n = 39) or (b) usual (UIP) clinical IPF 75). Two...
Objective: To establish computed tomographic findings that enable accurate differentiation between malignant and benign cavitary lung nodules. Methods: Computed scans from 39 patients with nodules were independently assessed by 2 observers. They recorded the of both types surrounding pulmonary parenchyma. The then compared using χ2 test. Results: notch was found in 29% nodule cases 54% (P < 0.01). An irregular internal wall 26% 49% A linear margin 0.01), satellite presence bronchial...
To perform volumetric analysis of stage I lung adenocarcinomas by using an automated computer program and to determine value computed tomographic (CT) measurements associated with prognostic factors outcome.Consecutive patients (n = 145) adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery after preoperative chest CT were enrolled. By computer-assisted analytic program, nodules classified into three subgroups: pure ground glass, part solid, or solid. Total tumor volume, solid percentage volume each cancer...
Thoracic diseases in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), especially interstitial pneumonia (SLE-IP), are rare and have been poorly studied. The aims of this multicentre study were to evaluate SLE-IP elucidate its clinical characteristics prognosis. Fifty-five who had attended the respiratory departments participating hospitals retrospectively evaluated study. Clinical information, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), surgical lung biopsy/autopsy specimens analysed by...
Recent studies have suggested that in patients with an idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP), a probable usual (UIP) pattern on chest computed tomography (CT) is sufficient to diagnose pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) without histopathology.We retrospectively compared the prognosis and time first acute exacerbation (AE) IIP UIP initial CT.One hundred sixty 242 were identified. Probable was independently associated longer survival (adjusted hazard ratio 0.713, 95% CI 0.536-0.950; p=0.021) AE 0.580,...
Background Patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) have a favourable prognosis when they autoimmune features (IPAF). However, precise IPAF-related findings from high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and lung histopathological specimens the treatment response not been fully determined. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate relationship between on HRCT or progression of in patients IPAF. Methods This multicentre cohort prospectively enrolled consecutive IIP. At...
