Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a heterogeneous group of acute and chronic inflammatory fibrotic diseases. Existing ILD registries have had variable findings. Little known about the clinical profile ILDs in India.To characterize new-onset India by creating prospective using multidisciplinary discussion (MDD) to validate diagnoses.Adult patients Indian origin living with (27 centers, 19 cities, March 2012-June 2015) without malignancy or infection were included. All connective tissue (CTD)...
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...
Current treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis slow the rate of lung function decline, but may be associated with adverse events that affect medication adherence. In phase 2 trials, pamrevlumab (a fully human monoclonal antibody binds to and inhibits connective tissue growth factor activity) attenuated progression without substantial events.
<h3>Importance</h3> Alteration in lung microbes is associated with disease progression idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess the effect of antimicrobial therapy on clinical outcomes. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> Pragmatic, randomized, unblinded trial conducted across 35 US sites. A total 513 patients older than 40 years were randomized from August 2017 to June 2019 (final follow-up was January 2020). <h3>Interventions</h3> Patients a 1:1 allocation ratio...
We sought to assess whether laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery (LARS) is associated with decreased rates of disease progression in patients idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).The study was a retrospective single-centre IPF worsening symptoms and function despite antacid treatment for abnormal acid gastro-oesophageal reflux. The period exposure LARS September 1998 December 2012. primary end-point longitudinal change forced vital capacity (FVC) % predicted the pre- versus post-surgery...
Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are oral antihyperglycemic medications that selective agonists to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and have been shown potent anti-inflammatory effects in the lung.The purpose of this study was assess whether exposure TZDs is associated with a decreased risk chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation.A cohort performed by collecting data on all US veterans diabetes COPD who were prescribed during from period October 1, 2005 September...
Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is required for diagnosis disease 2019 (COVID-19). Sensitivity RT-PCR nasopharyngeal (NP) testing presumed to be high, but there no gold standard against which this has been determined. The objective was determine whether lower tract infection (LRTI), detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), occurs the absence upper with clinical both specimen types. Between March 26,...

Thiazolidinediones are oral diabetes medications that selectively activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and have potent anti-inflammatory properties. While a few studies found improvements in pulmonary function with exposure to thiazolidinediones, there no of their impact on asthma exacerbations. Our objective was assess whether thiazolidinediones associated decreased risk exacerbation. We performed cohort study diabetic Veterans who had diagnosis were taking during the...
Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) experience impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Several tools have been developed to objectively assess HRQoL in this patient population, but none are use routine clinical practice.To develop a rapid, specific tool that can be used for patients IPF during clinic visits.A novel and simple five-item numerical rating scale was compared two other previously validated tools. 100 consecutive managed at centre interstitial lung disease...
Multiple environmental factors are associated with development of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), and diagnostic algorithms for the diagnosis HP have been proposed in recent perspectives.We analyzed data patients from interstitial lung disease (ILD)-India registry. The analysis was performed to (1) find prevalence HP, (2) reclassify as per a recently classification criterion assess level certainty, (3) identify causative agents HP.This prospective multicenter study consecutive, consenting...
