Development and validity testing of an IPF-specific version of the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire [PDF]
, 2010 Rationale The St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) is often applied to assess health-related quality of life in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Some SGRQ items will inevitably have weaker measurement properties than others when

Diffuse Pulmonary Ossification as a Rare Cause of Interstitial Lung Disease
Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2014 Diffuse pulmonary ossification (DPO) is a rare form of interstitial lung disease. The present article describes a case of DPO in an elderly man who presented with progressive dyspnea on exertion and an isolated reduction in diffusing capacity for carbon ...

Value of lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide in systemic sclerosis
Physiological Reports, 2019 A decreased lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is considered to reflect losses of alveolar membrane diffusive conductance for CO (DMCO), due to interstitial lung disease, and/or pulmonary capillary blood volume
