Prediction of hemoptysis in patients with anomalous systemic arterial supply to normal basal segments of the lower lobe using a combination of CT features and clinical materials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anomalous systemic arterial supply to the normal basal segments of the lower lobe (ASALL) is a rare anomaly with a common complication of hemoptysis. To estimate the risk of hemoptysis, this study aims to investigate the value of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and construct a risk-scoring model based on radiological features and clinical materials of patients with ASALL.

Methods

Forty-three eligible individuals (17 women and 26 males), who underwent multiphase contrast-enhanced CT, were included in this study. Hemoptysis was predicted by combined systemic arterial features (C_D-A) and combined demographic and radiological features (C_D-R). Potential hemoptysis predictors were identified using multivariate regression analysis. A rece
