Core Tip	This study aimed to investigate whether the predominant type of emphysema is associated with the pattern of fibrosis in combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE). Patients were stratified into 3 groups according to predominant type of emphysema and fibrosis. High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) was retrospectively scored at 5 levels for various morphologic parameters characterizing emphysema and fibrosis. The predominant type of emphysema was strongly correlated with the predominant type of fibrosis. The centrilobular emphysema group exhibited a higher extent of emphysema and a lower extent of fibrosis. In CPFE, paraseptal emphysema was more associated with a UIP-HRCT pattern and a higher extent of fibrosis than was centrilobular emphysema.
