An aggregate risk score (range 0-6 points) for predicting mortality after surgical biopsy for interstitial lung disease (ILD) was recently developed from four independent variables: intensive care unit treatment (2 points), age >67 years (1.5 points), immunosuppression (1.5 points), open biopsy (1 point). In the development cohort, patients were grouped in four classes of aggregate score (A, B, C, D) showing incremental risk of death within 90 days from biopsy. We tested this mortality risk model in an independent cohort. discussion 1030

Abstract

An aggregate risk score (range 0-6 points) for predicting mortality after surgical biopsy for interstitial lung disease (ILD) was recently developed from four independent variables: intensive care unit treatment (2 points), age >67 years (1.5 points), immunosuppression (1.5 points), open biopsy (1 point). In the development cohort, patients were grouped in four classes of aggregate score (A, B, C, D) showing incremental risk of death within 90 days from biopsy. We tested this mortality risk model in an independent cohort. discussion 1030
