Findings of surgical lung biopsy (SLB) are important in categorizing patients with idiopathic
interstitial pneumonia (IIP). We investigated whether histologic variability would be evident�…

Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) has been proposed as a histologic subtype of
idiopathic interstitial pneumonia with lung biopsy findings that are inconsistent with those of�…

Purpose: To retrospectively analyze computed tomographic (CT) findings of chronic
idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) and to determine which findings are most helpful for�…

Rationale: Patients with a clinicopathological diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)
may have typical findings of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) on computed tomography�…

Patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) can be subdivided into groups based
on the histological appearance of lung tissue obtained by surgical biopsy. The quantitative�…

Survival is linked to the histopathologic distinction between usual interstitial pneumonia
(UIP) and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), the most commonly encountered fibrotic�…

This is the first Australian study to examine survival and clinical characteristics in biopsy-
proven idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. A cohort of 70 patients from a single institution�…

Aims and methods: Pulmonary parenchymal disease is common in patients with connective
tissue disorders (CTDs). However, most reports precede recognition of non‐specific�…

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which has the histological pattern of usual interstitial
pneumonia (UIP), is a progressive interstitial lung disease with a poor prognosis. Idiopathic�…

Background Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is a slowly progressive, usually fatal form of
idiopathic interstitial pneumonia for which there is no effective treatment. Transbronchial�…
