..., independently examined these cryobiopsy specimens to decide if they match guideline criteria for usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern or an alternative diagnosis. The primary measure was the diagnostic accuracy of cryobiopsy to detect or refute a UIP pattern, as compared to the final explant diagnosis...

..., the incidence of coexistence of a usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern in the lower lobes on HRCT in the short survival was significantly higher than that in the long survival. Multivariate analysis revealed that a UIP pattern in the lower lobes on HRCT was the only independent variable for poor prognosis...

Acute exacerbation associated with rapid functional decline is an event that does not happen infrequently and affects survival. Diagnosis requires a typical usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern on computed tomography...

...Silvia Quadrelli; Luciana Molinari; Lorena Ciallella; Juan Carlos Spina; Edgardo Sobrino; Julio Chertcoff Background: Recent studies have shown that quantification of specific histopathologic features found in usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) are useful in defining a prognosis, suggesting...

.... The physicians reviewed high-resolution computed tomography scans of the chest (HRCT) and clinical data for each patient. The physicians were blinded to all other data and to the opinions of other study participants. Employing the histologic presence of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) coupled with appropriate...
