Objective To investigate the short-term effects of glucocorticoid therapy on patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia using high resolution CT semi quantitative scores. Methods According to the different HRCT scores will be January 2015 -2017 year in January in our hospital for diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia patients with 60 cases of groups: control group with HRCT score < 20%, the observation group with HRCT score more than 20%; the patients in the two groups of experimental data were recorded in detail and analyzed and discussed the high resolution CT semi quantitative score judgment of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia patients treated with glucocorticoid efficacy. Results The observation group (HRCT score≥20%) accuracy is higher than that of the control group (HRCT score<20%), the difference between groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The treatment of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia in patients with glucocorticoid selection of high resolution CT;semi quantitative score to determine significant short-term effect, HRCT score of the best critical value was 20%, the diagnostic accordance rate can obtain excellent.
