Lung Clearance Index and HRCT are complementary markers of lung abnormalities in young children with CF.
RATIONALE High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is a more sensitive tool for detecting early cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease than either spirometry or plain radiography, but its relationship to other measures of lung function has not been established in young children. OBJECTIVES (1) To assess whether the lung clearance index (LCI) derived from multiple breath inert-gas washout (MBW) i...
متن کاملHigh-resolution computed tomography and pulmonary function in children with common variable immunodeficiency.
High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) may be useful to monitor lung disease in children with common variable immunodeficiency disorder (CVID). We evaluated interobserver agreement and correlation with pulmonary function tests (PFTs) for automated quantification and visual scoring of air trapping and airway wall thickening on HRCT in paediatric CVID patients. In a cohort of 51 children with...
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 کاملDornase alfa reduces air trapping in children with mild cystic fibrosis lung disease: a quantitative analysis.
PURPOSES To evaluate quantitative air trapping measurements in children with mild cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease during a 1-year, double-blind, placebo-controlled, recombinant human deoxyribonuclease (rhDNase) [dornase alfa] intervention trial and compare results from quantitative air trapping with those from spirometry or visually scored high-resolution CT (HRCT) scans of the chest. MATER...

BACKGROUND This study aimed at evaluating HRCT pulmonary manifestations in children with Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) hospitalized in the Pediatric Ward of Masih Daneshvari Hospital during a 10-year period. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study evaluated 25 children hospitalized with the diagnosis of CVID in the Pediatric Ward of Masih Daneshvari Hospital from 2001 to 2011...
متن کاملCan HRCT be used as a marker of airway remodelling in children with difficult asthma?
BACKGROUND Whole airway wall thickening on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is reported to parallel thickening of the bronchial epithelial reticular basement membrane (RBM) in adult asthmatics. A similar relationship in children with difficult asthma (DA), in whom RBM thickening is a known feature, may allow the use of HRCT as a non-invasive marker of airway remodelling. We evaluated ...
