Pulmonary function measures predict mortality differently in IPF versus combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema [PDF]

, 2011
The composite physiologic index (CPI) was derived to represent the extent of fibrosis on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), adjusting for emphysema in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema (CPFE) [PDF]

, 2012
Emphysema is characterized by the permanent abnormal enlargement of airspaces distal to the terminal bronchioles, accompanied by destruction of their walls. The characteristics of emphysema do not, by definition, include thickening of the alveolar septa and fibrosis.

Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE): an entity different from emphysema or pulmonary fibrosis alone. [PDF]

J Thorac Dis, 2015
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIP), with different radiological, pathological, functional and prognostic characteristics, have been regarded as separate entities for a long time. However, there is an increasing recognition of the coexistence of emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis in individuals.

The value of CT for disease detection and prognosis determination in combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE). [PDF]

PLoS One, 2014
Several imaging-based indices were constructed quantitatively using the emphysema index (EI) and fibrosis score (FS) on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). We evaluated the ability of these indices to predict mortality compared to physiologic results.

Effect of combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema on patients with connective tissue diseases and systemic sclerosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2021
Background This study aimed to analyze the literature systematically to determine the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with connective tissue disease (CTD) with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) compared to those of ...

Improvement of pulmonary arterial compliance by pulmonary vasodilator in pulmonary hypertension from combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2019
Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is a common but under-recognized syndrome characterized with distinct profiles of both pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema.

Smoking-Related Clinical and Molecular Abnormalities in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis-Associated Pulmonary Hypertension. [PDF]

Pulm Circ
ABSTRACT Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a frequent complication of interstitial lung diseases (ILD) that worsens morbidity and mortality. Cigarette smoking has a detrimental effect on transplant‐free survival of patients with ILD, including patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema: When Scylla and Charybdis Ally

Cells, 2023
Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is a recently recognized syndrome that, as its name indicates, involves the existence of both interstitial lung fibrosis and emphysema in one individual, and is often accompanied by pulmonary hypertension.

Smoker's Lungs: Quo Vadis? Exploring the Shared and Individual Smoking-Related Molecular Pathways of Emphysema, Carcinoma, and Fibrosis - An Illustrative Review. [PDF]

Thorac Cancer
Cigarette smoking is related to chronic epithelial injury, which represents a central initiating event in smoking‐related lung diseases: NSCLC (non‐small cell lung cancer), IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), and emphysema. Altered lung biology and shared molecular pathways contribute to their pathogenesis.

Diagnosis and treatment of Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema (CPFE)

World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2023
Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is a syndrome of combination pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema which is now widely found. Clinical characteristics of the CPFE are current or former heavy smoker, predominantly male, and symptom of shortness of breath on exertion.
