Predictors of Long-Term Survival in Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: Data from the IPF-PRO Registry.
Journal Article Lung · March 9, 2025 PURPOSE: We used data from the IPF-PRO Registry of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) to identify characteristics that predicted survival for a further > 5 years. METHODS: Participants had IPF that was diagnosed or confirmed at the enrolling ...

Journal Article J Heart Lung Transplant · March 2025 BACKGROUND: Few tools exist for the early identification of patients at risk for chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). We previously showed hyaluronan (HA), a matrix molecule that regulates lung inflammation and fibrosis, accumulates in bronchoalveola ...

Journal Article Ann Am Thorac Soc · March 2025 Rationale: Although exposure to air pollution is a known risk factor for adverse pulmonary outcomes, its impact in individuals with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is less well understood. Objectives: To investigate the effects of long-term exposure to ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
