Prevalence and prognosis of unclassifiable interstitial lung disease.
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, characteristics and outcomes of patients with unclassifiable interstitial lung disease (ILD) and to develop a simple method of predicting disease behaviour. Unclassifiable ILD patients were identified from an ongoing longitudinal cohort. Unclassifiable ILD was diagnosed after a multidisciplinary review did not secure a specific ILD diagnosi...

متن کاملUnclassifiable interstitial lung disease: an unresolved diagnostic dilemma
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) classification requires a multidisciplinary review that includes input from an ILD clinician, chest radiologist, and lung pathologist. We report a case of ILD that remained unclassifiable due to discordant clinical, radiological, and pathological findings despite a thorough evaluation that included examination of explanted lung tissue. This case demonstrates that...
متن کاملUnclassified or unclassifiable interstitial lung disease: confusing or helpful disease category?
Since the seminal report by Averill A. Liebow in 1968 [1] of the first classification of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs), consisting of five entities including ‘‘usual or classical interstitial pneumonia’’ (UIP), a secure diagnosis has, until recently, required histopathological evaluation. A histologically based classification might appear paradoxical, as a biopsy is performed in onl...
متن کاملFunctional respiratory assessment in interstitial lung disease.
Interstitial lung diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders that affect, to a greater or lesser degree, the alveolus, peripheral airway, and septal interstitium. Functional assessment in patients suspected of having an interstitial lung disease has implications for diagnosis and makes it possible to objectively analyze both response to treatment and prognosis. Recently the clinical value ...
