PURPOSE: The prediction of @entity358 in @entity1 with @entity9927 is important because this influences the strategy for @entity1 management. We hypothesized that narrowing of the luminal bronchus due to bronchial wall thickening correlates to @entity1576 in @entity9927 @entity1 . METHODS: In a prospective observational study, all @entity1 were enrolled at a single tertiary @entity130 and critical care center. In 40 @entity1 , chest computed tomographic images were obtained within a few hours after @entity9927 . We assessed bronchial wall thickness and luminal area % on chest computed tomographic images. Airway wall thickness to total bronchial diameter (T/D) ratio, percentage of luminal area, and clinical indices were compared between @entity1 with @entity9927 and control @entity1 . RESULTS: The T/D ratio of @entity1 with @entity9927 was significantly higher than that of control @entity1 (p<0.001), and the luminal area of these @entity1 was significantly smaller than that of control @entity1 (p<0.001). The number of mechanical ventilation days correlated with the initial infusion volume, T/D ratio, and luminal area %. ROC analysis showed a cut-off value of 0.26 for the T/D ratio, with a sensitivity of 79.0% and specificity of 73.7%, and a value of 23.4% for luminal area %, with a sensitivity of 68.4% and specificity of 84.2%. CONCLUSIONS: These data revealed the utility of computed tomography scanning on admission to show that the @entity1 with @entity9927 had airway wall thickening compared to control @entity1 without @entity9927 . Airflow narrowing due to airway wall thickening was related to the development of @entity55 and the number of mechanical ventilation days in @entity1 with @entity9927 . Airflow narrowing is one important factor of @entity1576 in @entity9927 .
