Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) Score and Pulmonary Function Tests in Determining Severity of Bronchiectasis
Objective: To determine the severity score of bronchiectasis using MDCT and pulmonary function tests and to relate the extent of MDCT score to pulmonary function tests. Patients and Methods: A prospective study was performed in Assuit University Hospitals from 2011 to 2013 and it included 50 patients underwent MDCT examination and pulmonary function. Two radiologists interpreted MDCT images acc...
متن کاملcorrelation between symptom score, wheeze, reversibility of pulmonary function tests and treatment response in asthma
asthma management is a major concern because some asthmatic patients either do not respond or else hardly respond to treatment. therefore in the present study, an attempt has been made to determine the predictors of treatment response in asthmatic patients. thirty six asthmatic adults including 13 male and 23 female were studied dur¬ing a 3 month treatment period. asthma symptom score (ss) and ...
متن کاملAirflow obstruction in bronchiectasis: correlation between computed tomography features and pulmonary function tests.
BACKGROUND An obstructive defect is usual in bronchiectasis, but the pathophysiological basis of airflow obstruction remains uncertain. High resolution computed tomographic (CT) scanning now allows quantitation of static morphological abnormalities, as well as dynamic changes shown on expiratory CT scans. The aim of this study was to determine which static and dynamic structural abnormalities o...
متن کاملThe bronchiectasis severity index and FACED score for bronchiectasis.
Bronchiectasis is a chronic airway disease which is associated with cough, sputum production, haemoptysis and/or other distressing symptoms, resulting from various aetiologies [1–4]. The vicious cycle, which consists of airway infection, airway inflammation and structural damage, predominates in the pathogenesis and progression of bronchiectasis [5]. Despite the disappointingly limited number o...
متن کاملThe Bronchiectasis Severity Index and FACED score for assessment of the severity of bronchiectasis.
INTRODUCTION Bronchiectasis (BC) is a multidimensional and etiologically diverse disease and, therefore, no single parameter can be used to determine its overall severity and prognosis. In this regard, two different validated scores are currently used to assess the severity of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB): the FACED score and the Bronchiectasis Severity Index (BSI). OBJECTIVE To ...
