Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Medicin - Department of Pediatrics Summary: Background and aim: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) may complicate the course of many forms of advanced interstitial lung disease (ILD) and has been shown to portend a worse outcome. Computerized tomography (CT) chest scans are non invasive tools used in diagnosis of ILD including those with suspected PH. There have been attempts to address the utility of CT to predict the presence of PH. Aim of our study was to explore relationships between HRCT-derived vascular measurements and its relation to the absence or presence of PH as estimated by echocardiography in pediatric patients suffering from interstitial lung disease (ILD). Subjects and methods: Our study was done at Pulmonology outpatient clinic at Specialized Children{u2019}s Hospital, Cairo University and included forty four pediatric patients known with Interstitial lung disease (ILD) (twenty two with pulmonary hypertension and twenty two without pulmonary hypertension) on regular follow up at the specialized pulmonology pediatric clinic compared to twenty two normal control children.Full history taking, clinical examination and HRCT chest and Echocardiography was doneto all patients. Results: HRCT-derived vascular measurements showed a statistically significant difference found between our patients with ILD and Control group regarding Main Pulmonary artery diameter (MPAD), Left Pulmonary artery diameter (LPAD), Right Pulmonary artery diameter (RPAD),Main Pulmonary artery diameter: Ascending Aorta ratio (MPAD:AA), Main Pulmonary artery diameter: Vertebral Body ratio (MPAD:VB) with P-value (0.000, 0.001, 0.016, 0.000, 0.000 respectively). No statistically significant difference was found in MPAD and MPA:AA between ILD patients with and without PH (P-value 0.051 and 0.447 respectively)
