Background Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an interstitial lung disease with a better
prognosis, on average, than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We compare survival time and …

Objectives: To specify the association between the daily occurrence of delirium in the ICU
with costs of ICU care accounting for time-varying illness severity and death. Research Design…

There are over 200 interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). In addition to patients with idiopathic
pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a percentage of patients with other ILDs also develop progressive …

High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) may be useful for diagnosing hypersensitivity
pneumonitis. Here, we develop and validate a radiological diagnosis model and model-…

Background Pragmatic use of the anti-fibrotic medications pirfenidone and nintedanib for
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in the United States (US) has not been studied and may be …

Background Functional status, an important predictor of health outcomes in older patients,
has not been studied in an IPF population. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of …

Distinguishing pulmonary arterial and venous (A/V) trees via in vivo imaging is a critical first
step in the quantification of vascular geometry for the purpose of diagnosing several …

Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disease with high mortality.
Patient characteristics associated with diagnostic delays are not well described. Methods …

Distinguishing pulmonary arterial and venous (A/V) trees via in vivo imaging is essential for
quantification of vascular geometry useful to diagnose several pulmonary diseases. A multi-…

METHODS: ILD patients were identified via HP ICD-9 code search and review of multidisciplinary
ILD conference minutes. Eligible patients had a thin-section, inspiratory HRCT, with …
