Intrahospital mortality does not differ between patients with and without pulmonary hypertension who undergo lung transplantation for interstitial lung disease.
Patients with interstitial lung disease who had honeycombing on chest computed tomography had higher mortality rates than patients without honeycombing.
Lung‐epithelial‐derived surfactant protein has been identified as a biomarker of systemic sclerosis-interstitial lung disease.
Systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary hypertension and systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease exhibit similar but distinct gene expression profiles.
Researchers investigated whether increased IL-18 levels were associated with interstitial lung disease in rheumatoid arthritis.
The International Physical Activity Questionnaire long form is considered valid and consistent for measuring levels of physical activity in patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease.
