Acute exacerbations of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are associated with high mortality and unknown cause. The effect air pollution on interstitial lung disease is unknown. This study aims to define the association exposure acute exacerbation fibrosis. Patients corresponding data were identified from a longitudinal cohort. Air exposures assigned each patient for ozone, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide carbon monoxide based geo-coded residential addresses. Cox proportional...
Rationale: Current diagnosis of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (cHP) involves considering a combination clinical, radiological, and pathological information in multidisciplinary team discussions. However, this approach is highly variable with poor agreement between centers.Objectives: We aimed to identify diagnostic criteria for cHP that reach consensus among international experts.Methods: A three-round modified Delphi survey was conducted April August 2017. total 45 experts...
Progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD) is characterised by progressive physiological, symptomatic and/or radiographic worsening. The real-world prevalence and characteristics of PF-ILD remain uncertain.Patients were enrolled from the Canadian Registry for Pulmonary Fibrosis between 2015 2020. was defined as a relative forced vital capacity (FVC) decline ≥10%, death, transplantation or any two of: FVC ≥5% <10%, worsening respiratory symptoms fibrosis on computed tomography...

Extent of fibrosis, defined by the amount honeycombing and traction bronchiectasis, was consistently associated with death or lung transplant across all interstitial disease subtypes in a dose-dependent fashion.
Rationale: Patients frequently use YouTube as a platform for dissemination and consumption of health information. Caregivers patients affected by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are likely consumers this Objectives: We aimed to determine viewer engagement, quality, content videos on IPF compare the provided information with contemporaneous guidelines. Methods: analyzed first 200 resulting from search term "idiopathic fibrosis." Patient-directed containing any were eligible. Each video...
<h3>Background</h3> Recent studies have suggested that non-definitive patterns on high-resolution CT (HRCT) scan provide sufficient diagnostic specificity to forgo surgical lung biopsy in the diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The objective this study was determine test characteristics HRCT for identifying histopathological usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). <h3>Methods</h3> Patients with biopsy-proven disease (ILD) and scans were identified from two academic ILD centres....
We conducted an international study of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) diagnosis among a large group physicians and compared their diagnostic performance to panel IPF experts. A total 1141 respiratory 34 experts participated. Participants evaluated 60 cases interstitial lung disease (ILD) without interdisciplinary consultation. Diagnostic agreement was measured using the weighted kappa coefficient (κ w ). Prognostic discrimination between other ILDs used validate accuracy for...
Particulate matter 2.5 μm or less in diameter (PM2.5) is associated with adverse outcomes for patients idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, but its association other fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (fILDs) and the of PM2.5 composition remain unclear.
Rationale: Transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) for the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) has shown promising results, but prospective studies with matched surgical biopsy (SLB) have yielded conflicting results. Objectives: We aimed to assess within- and between-center diagnostic agreement between TBCB SLB at both histopathologic multidisciplinary discussion (MDD) levels in patients diffuse ILD. Methods: In a multicenter study, we performed referred SLB. After blinded review by three...
