    WASHINGTON — Exposure to air pollutants at high levels contributed to interstitial lung disease incidence, acute exacerbations and death, according to an abstract presented at the American Thoracic Society International Conference.“It was interesting to see that the evidence to date suggests that greater exposure to air pollutants is more consistently associated with acute

    Ethnicity-related differences in the prevalence, age at presentation, and mortality of interstitial lung disease remain inadequately understood. The scarcity of such information is especially notable with respect to non-White individuals including those of so-called Asian ethnicity. The imprecise and generic grouping of different ethnicities under this term is embedded in the medical literature…

    Inhaled treprostinil is used to treat pulmonary hypertension with interstitial lung disease, and a study recently found that higher doses led to better clinical outcomes than a lower dose or placebo.In a post-hoc analysis of the INCREASE study published in CHEST, researchers analyzed 326 patients with pulmonary hypertension-associated interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) to determine if receiving

    About half of patients with interstitial lung abnormalities had suspected interstitial lung disease, with these patients having greater symptoms and more unfavorable clinical outcomes, according to study results.Researchers classified suspected ILD as interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) and one or more of the following: definite fibrosis on CT, FVC less than 80% predicted or diffusing capacity

    Because interstitial lung disease is often associated with an older patient population, there is limited knowledge on how ILD impacts young women who are pregnant, according to a review published in CHEST.According to the review authors, younger women can be diagnosed with connective tissue disease-associated ILD, familial pulmonary fibrosis and post-COVID-19 fibrosis, yet there are few studies
