Combination of computed tomography imaging pattern and severity of respiratory failure as factors associated with prognosis for acute exacerbation of idiopathic chronic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia.

Combination of computed tomography imaging pattern and severity of respiratory failure as factors associated with prognosis for acute exacerbation of idiopathic chronic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia.

<h4>Background and objectives</h4>The prognosis of idiopathic chronic fibrotic interstitial pneumonitis (CFIP) in patients with acute exacerbation (AE) is variable. We examined whether the imaging pattern on thoracic computed tomography (CT) or the severity of respiratory failure with AE...
