CT at onset of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction in Lung Transplant Patients Predicts Development of the Restrictive Phenotype and Survival

Highlights • CT in CLAD-patients with and without development of restrictive phenotype differs significantly. • At CLAD onset inflammatory changes indicate future development of restrictive phenotype. • A high CT score for inflammation at CLAD onset is combined with significant lower survival. • CT...

Description
Summary:Highlights • CT in CLAD-patients with and without development of restrictive phenotype differs significantly. • At CLAD onset inflammatory changes indicate future development of restrictive phenotype. • A high CT score for inflammation at CLAD onset is combined with significant lower survival. • CT indicates the development of restrictive CLAD-phenotype before becoming clinically apparent. • Inflammatory pattern in CT at CLAD onset correlates with a lower survival.
