The Correlation of Brody High Resolution Computed Tomography Scoring System with Clinical Status and Pulmonary Function Test in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
Background: To reduce the mortality and morbidity rates of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, and to have an effective clinical management, it is important to monitor the progression of the disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the progression of lung disease in CF patients by means of assessing the correlation of the CT scoring system with clinical status and pulmonary function test at th...
متن کاملquantitative evaluation of high-resolution ct findings in advanced cystic fibrosis patients based on the brody scoring
conclusions it seems that in advanced cases of cf, at older ages and with lack of appropriate medical care, severity, prevalence, and appearance of lung lesions do not follow a definite specific pattern. therefore, a similar study is suggested in older patients with a larger sample size for comparison of results. results all studied patients had bronchiectasis and peribronchial wall thickening ...
متن کاملProgressive damage on high resolution computed tomography despite stable lung function in cystic fibrosis.
For effective clinical management of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease it is important to closely monitor the start and progression of lung damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scoring systems and pulmonary function tests (PFT) to detect changes in lung disease. CF children (n=48) had two HRCT scans in combination with two PF...
متن کاملHigh-resolution computed tomography scores in cystic fibrosis patients colonized with Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Staphylococcus aureus.
OBJECTIVE To compare HRCT findings in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients chronically colonized with Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Staphylococcus aureus using the modified Bhalla CT scoring system, as well as to evaluate intraobserver and interobserver reliability of the method. METHODS This was a retrospective cross-sectional study involving 41 CF patients, 26 of whom were chronically colonized with P...
متن کاملProgressive massive fibrosis in silica-exposed workers. High-resolution computed tomography findings.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the radiological characteristics of conglomerate masses using high-resolution computed tomography of the chest. METHODS From among the patients treated between 1986 and 2004 at the Antonio Pedro University Hospital, 75 patients with silicosis and massive fibrosis, most working in the field of sandblasting, were selected for study. These patients were submitted to a clini...
