Predictive value of computed tomography scoring systems evolution in adults with cystic fibrosis
ConclusionsThe annual evolution of the Brody II HRCT scoring system demonstrated a predictive value and correlated with FEV1% decline, pulmonary exacerbations and oral antibiotic treatments.Key Points•HRCT evolution has prognostic value in cystic fibrosis.•Temporal evolution for the Brody II score is useful for clinical follow-up.•Brody II score changes correlate with FEV1% decline, pulmonary exacerbations and number of antibiotic treatments.
