ObjectivesTo investigate computer-aided quantitative scores from high‐resolution CT (HRCT) images and determine their longitudinal changes and clinical significance in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs)-related interstitial lung disease (IIMs-ILD).MethodsThe clinical data and HRCT images of 80 patients with IIMs who underwent serial HRCT scans at least twice were retrospectively analysed. Quantitative ILD (QILD) scores (%) were calculated as the sum of the extent of lung fibrosis, ground-glass opacity, and honeycombing. The individual time-estimated ΔQILD between two consecutive scans was derived using a linear approximation of yearly changes.ResultsThe baseline median QILD (interquartile range) scores in the whole lung were 28.1% (19.1–43.8). The QILD was significantly correlated with forced vital capacity (r=−0.349,P=0.002) and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (r=−0.381,P= 0.001). For ΔQILD between the first two scans, according to the visual ILD subtype, QILD aggravation was more frequent in patients with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) than non-UIP (80.0%vs44.4%,P= 0.013). Multivariable logistic regression analyses identified UIP was significantly related to radiographic ILD progression (ΔQILD >2%,P= 0.015). Patients with higher baseline QILD scores (>28.1%) had a higher risk of lung transplantation or death (P= 0.015). In the analysis of three serial HRCT scans (n= 41), dynamic ΔQILD with four distinct patterns (improving, worsening, convex and concave) was observed.ConclusionQILD changes in IIMs-ILD were dynamic, and baseline UIP patterns seemed to be related to a longitudinal progression in QILD. These may be potential imaging biomarkers for lung function, changes in ILD severity and prognosis in IIMs-ILD.
