The Extent of Honeycombing on Computed Tomography Cannot Predict the Treatment Outcome of Patients with Acute Exacerbations of Interstitial Lung Disease

<div>Comparison of patients with high and low GGO scores. The 95 patients assigned to groups with a low GGO (<i>N</i> = 42) or a high GGO (<i>N</i> = 53) score based on the optimal cutoff (10 points). Log-rank tests show that Kaplan–Meier survival curves of these groups differ significantly in patients with AE of idiopathic ILDs and overall patients, but not in those with AEs of secondary ILDs. AE, acute exacerbation; GGO, ground-glass opacity; ILD, interstitial lung disease. (a) Overall. (b) Idiopathic. (c) Secondary.</div>
