Alveolar cell composition in interstitial lung disease and the development of a pulmonary progressive fibrosing phenotype: a retrospective cohort study
28 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Immunological bronchoalveolar lavage (iBAL) is a frequently employed diagnostic tool in interstitial lung disease (ILD). The association between iBAL cellular composition and disease progression remains elusive. We evaluated whether the alveolar cellular composition at initial diagnosis is predictive of the development of progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) in patients with ILD. METHODS: A...
