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

HRCT scores at diagnosis of AE.

Valuables	Survive more than 3 months	Death within 3 months	values
GGO + consolidation score	9.5 (7–13)	12 (9–16)	0.147
Honeycomb score	1 (0–4)	3 (0–8)	0.214
Reticular fibrosis score	1 (0–2)	1 (0–2)	0.531
Honeycomb + reticular fibrosis score	3 (1–5.8)	3 (0–8)	0.782
Total score	14 (9.3–19)	16 (12–23)	0.156
GGO + consolidation score/total score (%)	81.5 (59.3–95.8)	79 (58–100)	1.000
Honeycomb score/total score (%)	5.5 (0–28.5)	17 (0–38)	0.399
Honeycomb + reticular fibrosis score/total score (%)	18.5 (4.3–40.8)	21 (0–42)	1.000

Results are shown as medians with 25th–75th percentiles or percentage (%). These scores were calculated at the diagnosis of AE conditions. AE, acute exacerbation; GGO, ground-glass opacity; HRCT, high-resolution computed tomography.
