CI: confidence interval; HRCT: high-resolution computed tomography; UIP: usual interstitial pneumonia; FVC: forced vital capacity; % pred: % predicted. #: each reviewer (D and E) scored the open lung biopsy or thoracoscopic lung biopsy specimens as unlikely, probable or very suggestive for the diagnosis of UIP.
