Characterization of the PF-ILD phenotype in patients with advanced pulmonary sarcoidosis
Background Advanced pulmonary sarcoidosis causes significant morbidity and can lead to death. Large trials demonstrated efficacy of antifibrotics in patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (PF-ILD), including a few with sarcoidosis.

Clustering of lung diseases in the family of interstitial lung disease patients
Background The presence of familial interstitial lung disease (ILD) has been found to predict development of progressive pulmonary fibrosis. However, the role of non-ILD lung diseases in ILD patients’ families has not yet been investigated.

Decreased Survival and Lung Function in Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis
Background and Objectives: Progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) is a recently described term reserved for patients with fibrotic ILD other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) with fast clinical deterioration. Here, survival and prognostic biomarkers

No effect of danazol treatment in patients with advanced idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Background Telomere dysfunction can underly the development of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and recent work suggests that patients with telomere syndromes might benefit from treatment with androgens, such as danazol.

Cluster features in fibrosing interstitial lung disease and associations with prognosis
Background Clustering is helpful in identifying subtypes in complex fibrosing interstitial lung disease (F-ILD) and associating them with prognosis at an early stage of the disease to improve treatment management.
