Table 1.

Differences between the Baumann and Hartmann scoring methods for common variable immunodeficiency disorders.

Baumann Hartmann
Abnormalities scored per Whole lung Lobe
Number of values 22 157
Time needed per CT (minutes) 15 30
Origin Newly designed for CVID as a scoring system for clinical use Based on the cystic fibrosis-CT scoring method, and designed as a sensitive scoring system for CVID patients for research purposes
Emphysema Scored together with bullae Scored as separate entity
Reticulation The presence and subtype of reticulation (inflammatory, fibrotic, or mixed) are noted Differentiation between reticulation with or without distortion
Lymphadenopathy Size of the largest lymph node is measured in mm Only the presence is scored defined by a short axis diameter ≥ 10 mm
Ground-glass opacities (GGO) Both the presence and subtype of GGO (inflammatory or fibrotic) are noted No subtypes of GGO are noted

This table presents the key differences between the Baumann and Hartmann scoring method for computed tomography (CT) scans of patients with common variable immunodeficiency disorders (CVID).
