Characterization of the PF-ILD phenotype in patients with advanced pulmonary sarcoidosis

Respiratory Research, 2022
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

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
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

Medicina, 2023
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

ERJ Open Research, 2023
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.

Progressive fibrosis in interstitial lung diseases — proposed definition and management [PDF]

, 2021
Interstitial lung diseases may have an unpredictably progressive course, which is manifested as progression of pulmonary fibrosis, causing an increasing impairment of lung function affecting a poor prognosis.

Distinct metabolic features in the plasma of patients with silicosis and dust-exposed workers in China: a case–control study

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2021
Background Silicosis is a progressive pneumoconiosis characterized by interstitial fibrosis following exposure to silica dust. The role of metabolic dysregulation in the pathogenesis of silicosis has not been investigated in detail.

Cluster features in fibrosing interstitial lung disease and associations with prognosis

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2023
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.

Elevated Serum Amyloid a Levels Are not Specific for Sarcoidosis but Associate with a Fibrotic Pulmonary Phenotype

Cells, 2021
Elevated Serum Amyloid A (SAA) levels have been found in several inflammatory diseases, including sarcoidosis. SAA is suggested to be involved in sarcoidosis pathogenesis by involvement in granuloma formation and maintenance.

Study protocol of an international patient-led registry in patients with pulmonary fibrosis using online home monitoring: I-FILE

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2023
Background Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is caused by a heterogeneous group of diseases, with a high inter-individual variability in disease trajectory. Identifying disease progression in patients with PF has impact on clinical management decisions.

A descriptive epidemiological study of interstitial lung disease in the United Kingdom general population [PDF]

, 2012
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a heterogeneous group of parenchymal lung disorders having varied histopathologies. Although histologically different, the ILDs have rather similar clinical presentations consisting of increasing dyspnea, a restrictive ...
