Longitudinal Comparison of Pulmonary Lung Functions in Asbestos-Related Interstitial Lung Diseases With or Without a Radiological Uip Pattern

Abstract: Asbestos exposure may lead to interstitial lung diseases with radiologic findings similar to those of subjects with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), with a Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) pattern, as well as parenchymal fibrous bands and semi-circular lines. Although asbestosis with classical patterns of UIP can lead to respiratory failure, its natural history in terms of pulmonary function is not well known. Primary objective: To compare the change in forced vital capacity (FVC) at 1 year and 4 years a… Show more
