Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Recently, a new important subtype of CTD-ILD was defined, the autoimmune-featured ILD, which emphasizes the importance of a careful and systematic approach to ILD diagnosis. [...]there is an increasing importance of the rheumatologists' opinion in the decision of ILD diagnosis. Six out of 28 patients (21%) that were initially diagnosed with IPF by the MDT were found to have a CTD following the rheumatological assessment. [...]only 13 of the 23 (56%) CTD cases were diagnosed by the MDT (Figure 1).
