Respective median time intervals and ranges between first and second LDCT readings were 4.7 years (2.0-7.0) for R1,
42 days (32-60) for R2,
and 37 days (28-47) for R3.
Brody Score (total score,
Results Table 1,
Def.
Table 7 )
Comparison of individual Brody scoring results implied an average intra-individual reproducibility within about 7% of the individual mean score (Table 1),
with wider deviations for long-term re-assessment by the attending radiologist .
There was no evidence of skewing of the average deviation toward lower or higher mean values of the Brody score.
Bronchiectasis Sub-Score (Table 2 )
Comparison of individual bronchiectasis sub-scoring results implied an average intra-individual reproducibility within about 15% of the individual mean score (Table 2),
with wider deviations for long-term re-assessment by the attending radiologist .
Mucus Plugging Sub-Score (Table 3 )
Comparison of individual mucus plugging sub-scoring results implied an average intra-individual reproducibility within about 12% of the individual mean score (Table 3),
with similar deviations for long-term re-assessment by the attending radiologist .
Peribronchial Thickening Sub-Score (Table 4 )
Comparison of individual peribronchial thickening sub-scoring results implied an average intra-individual reproducibility within about 13% of the individual mean score (Table 4),
with wider deviations for long-term re-assessment by the attending radiologist .
Parenchymal Opacity Sub-Score (Table 5 )
Comparison of individual parenchymal opacity sub-scoring results implied an average intra-individual reproducibility within about 46% of the individual mean score (Table 5),
with similar deviations for long-term re-assessment by the attending radiologist .
Hyperinflation Sub-Score (Table 6 )
Comparison of individual hyperinflation sub-scoring results implied an average intra-individual reproducibility of within about 46% of the individual mean score (Table 6),
with wider deviations for long-term re-assessment by the attending radiologist .
