Rate of survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Two chest radiologists scored the extent of specific abnormalities and overall disease on baseline and follow-up CT. Pulmonary function tests and CT were performed at the time of diagnosis and at a median follow-up of 12 months, respectively. We identified 72 patients with fibrosing interstitial pneumonia (42 with idiopathic disease, 30 with collagen vascular disease). Hwang, Jeong-Hwa Misumi, Shigeki Curran-Everett, Douglas Brown, Kevin K Sahin, Hakan Lynch, David AThe aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic implications of computed tomography (CT) and physiologic variables at baseline and on sequential evaluation in patients with fibrosing interstitial pneumonia.
