Positive predictive value of the modified idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis algorithm for identifying cases with an interstitial lung disease expert diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, with sensitivity analyses for alternative case classification methods
Case Definition | PPV of Modified IPF Algorithm (95% CI) |

---|---|---|
Sample 1 (n = 71) | Sample 2 (n = 70) | |
Primary analysis |
|
|
Adjudicated diagnosis of IPF | 70.4 (49.8–86.2) | 61.8 (43.6–77.8) |
Sensitivity analyses | ||
Adjudicated diagnosis of IPF or unclassifiable | 85.2 (66.3–95.8) | 85.3 (68.9–95.0) |
Treating clinician chart diagnosis | 77.8 (57.7–91.4) | 61.8 (43.6–77.8) |
Any ILD based on expert CT image review | 88.9 (70.8–97.6) | 100 (89.7–100) |
Definition of abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; CT = computed tomographic; ILD = interstitial lung disease; IPF = idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; PPV = positive predictive value.
