NCT06028646

Brief Summary

The purpose of this pilot interventional study is to evaluate the use of Dynamic Airway Computed Tomography (DA-CT) for diagnosis of tracheomalacia in children 0-18 years for whom flexible bronchoscopy has been performed. The primary aims are to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy, image quality, and radiation exposure of DA-CT as a potential noninvasive alternative to the gold standard of flexible bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of tracheomalacia. The results from this pilot study will help to estimate sample size for a larger-scale study with more precise estimates of DA-CT diagnostic potential.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Severity of dynamic narrowing on Flexible Bronchoscopy

    Video recordings and images will be deidentified and reviewed by pediatric pulmonologists and scores averaged. Severity of dynamic narrowing will be classified as follows: mild: 50%-74%, moderate: 75%-89%, severe: \>90%.

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Severity of Maximal Airway Change (MAC) on DA-CT

    Severity of MAC will be classified as follows: mild: 33%-49%, moderate: 50%-66%, severe: \>67%. This outcome will be measured using the following equation: MAC = tracheal cross-sectional (CSA) at narrowed segment in inspiration/CSA of trachea at thoracic inlet in inspiration

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Severity of Excessive dynamic airway collapse (EDAC) on DA-CT

    Severity of EDAC will be classified as follows: mild: 50%-74%, moderate: 75%-89%, severe: \>90%. This outcome will be measured using the following equation: EDAC = CSA at airway segment in expiration/CSA at same location in inspiration

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Contrast-to-noise-ratio (CNR) of DA-CT scanners

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Qualitative Analysis of DA-CT Image Quality based on 5-point Likert scale

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Qualitative Analysis of DA-CT image noise based on 5-point Likert scale

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Qualitative Analysis of DA-CT delineation of large airways based on 5-point Likert scale

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Qualitative Analysis of DA-CT delineation of small airways based on 5-point Likert scale

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • +2 more secondary outcomes
