Lung transplantation for interstitial lung disease [PDF]
Lung transplantation (LTx) can be a life-extending treatment option for patients with advanced and/or progressive fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD), especially idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, sarcoidosis and connective tissue disease-associated ILD.

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.

Interstitial lung disease [PDF]
Interstitial lung diseases are a group of diffuse parenchymal lung disorders associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Knowledge achieved in recent years has resulted in the publication of the new classification of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, according to which there are three groups: major, rare and unclassified.

The Genetics of Interstitial Lung Diseases [PDF]
Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are a set of heterogeneous lung diseases characterised by inflammation and, in some cases, fibrosis. These lung conditions lead to dyspnoea, cough, abnormalities in gas exchange, restrictive physiology (characterised by decreased lung volumes), hypoxaemia and, if progressive, respiratory failure.

Interstitial Lung Disease in the Elderly [PDF]
Despite the relationship between idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and advancing age, little is known about the epidemiology of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in the elderly. We describe the diagnoses, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of patients who were elderly at the time of ILD diagnosis.Among subjects from a prospective cohort study of ...

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.
