Interstitial Lung Disease
Diagnosing Usual Interstitial Pneumonia via Endobronchial Optical Coherence Tomography
A study compared the diagnostic accuracy of endobronchial OCT in interstitial lung disease to the clinical judgment of blinded, independent pathologists and pulmonologists.
Are Chronic Airway Diseases Associated With Greater COVID-19 Severity?
A British community cohort study reexamined statistics on hospitalization for COVID-19 among individuals with asthma, COPD, ILD, lung cancer, and other airway diseases.
Nasal High-Flow Oxygen Improves Exercise Capacity for Interstitial Lung Disease
A study evaluated the effect of nasal high-flow oxygen vs standard oxygen supplementation during exercise in patients with ILD.
Clinical Practice Guidelines: Pulmonary Manifestations in Sjögren Syndrome
Because up to 65% of patients with asymptomatic Sjögren’s syndrome will have abnormal pulmonary imaging, pulmonologists can play a significant role in the diagnosis of Sjögren’s syndrome.

Inhaled treprostinil improved clinical status of patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease over a 16-week period.
Azathioprine and Mycophenolate Mofetil Offer Comparable Efficacy in SSc-ILD
No mortality differences exist between patients with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease who are treated with azathioprine vs mycophenolate mofetil.
Interstitial Lung Disease Diagnosis: Safety, Utility of Surgical Lung Biopsy
Surgical lung biopsies that are performed via video-assisted thoracic surgery are safe for obtaining histopathologic tissue for select patients.
Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease Mortality Rates, Trends
