Background and objective: Baseline clinical and physiological features and changes in these parameters over time are known predictors of survival in patients with fibrotic idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP). Pulmonary hypertension is common in advanced fibrotic IIP, and has a negative impact on survival. Serial pulmonary function profiles, indicative of increasing vascular impairment in patients...
The interstitial lung diseases pathologically involve the pulmonary interstitium but may also involve the airways, pleura and pulmonary circulation. They may be idiopathic, be part of other conditions, or be related to drug or environmental exposures. This review will focus on diagnostic and prognostic information provided by lung function tests in the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, particularly...
Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIP) are a heterogeneous group characterized by unknown aetiology. Establishment of a correct diagnosis of a distinct IIP requires a multidisciplinary approach integrating clinical presentation, physiological data, radiological appearance and histological findings. The 2013 update of the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society classification summarises...
