An increased risk of pulmonary hypertension in patients with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema: a meta-analysis [PDF]
Background and aim Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common complication of combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE). Whether the incidence of PH is increased in CPFE compared with pure pulmonary fibrosis or emphysema remains unclear.

Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema: an increasingly recognized condition
Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) has been increasingly recognized in the literature. Patients with CPFE are usually heavy smokers or former smokers with concomitant lower lobe fibrosis and upper lobe emphysema on chest HRCT scans.

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) with co-existent emphysema, termed combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) may associate with reduced forced vital capacity (FVC) declines compared to non-CPFE IPF patients.
