Assessment of bronchiectasis by radiological and clinical parameters.
| Comprehensive parameter | Individual parameter | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| FACED | Lobe extension with lingula included | ||
| 4 lobes involved | 3 (4%) | ||
| 6 lobes involved | 75 (96%) | ||
| Mild | 58 (74%) | Bronchial wall thickening* (predominant) | |
| Moderate | 18 (23%) | Mild | 21 (27%) |
| Severe | 2 (3%) | Moderate | 53 (68%) |
| Modified Reiff | Severe | 4 (5%) | |
| Dilatation type (predominant) | |||
| Mild | 63 (81%) | Cylindrical | 64 (82%) |
| Moderate | 13 (17%) | Varicose | 12 (15%) |
| Severe | 2 (3%) | Cystic | 2 (3%) |
Left part: systemic parameters. Right part: individual parameters. * Bronchial wall thickening by comparing with the adjacent artery diameter: mild < 0.5 A; moderate (0.5–1) A; severe > 1 A. Modified Reiff score: 1–6 pts mild, 7–12 pts moderate and ≥ 13 pts severe. FACED score: 0–2 pts mild, 3–4 pts moderate and 5–7 pts severe bronchiectasis.
