From China: CT-Based Radiomics Nomogram Can ID RA-Linked Interstitial Lung Disease
A computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics nomogram model can achieve favorable efficacy for predicting low-risk patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD), according to a study published online July 31 in Frontiers in Immunology.
Nie Han, from Guanghua Hospital Affiliated to the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and colleagues retrospectively analyzed chest CT images of patients with RA-ILD and staged them using the ILD-gender, age, and pulmonary physiology index system. The dataset with 177 patients was divided into training and testing cohorts in a 7:3 ratio, respectively. A nomogram model was established based on the Rad-score and clinical factors, combined with the radiomics signature and independent clinical factors.
