  • ILD, emphysema, CIP initial grade, ANC, concurrent infection, albumin and Ichikado CT score were analyzed in univariate analysis. Previous ILD, CIP grade, ANC and albumin were analyzed in multivariate analysis.

  • ANC, absolute neutrophil count; CIP, checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis; ILD, interstitial lung disease.
