Purpose In this study, we tested the association between COPD and interstitial lung
abnormality (ILA), notably in relation to the presence of computed tomography (CT) signs of …

Background The presence and progression of interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) is known
to be associated with a decline of lung function and increased risk of mortality. Research …

Background Both COPD and interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) are conditions associated
with smoking and age. The impact of coexistent ILAs on the manifestations and outcomes of …

Rationale: Although interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA), specific patterns of incidentally-
detected abnormal density on computed tomography, have been associated with abnormal …

Rationale: Some with interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) have suspected interstitial lung
disease (ILD), a subgroup with adverse outcomes. Rates of development and progression of …

Smoking-related interstitial lung abnormalities are different from specific forms of fibrosing
lung disease which might be associated with poor prognoses. Chronic obstructive …

Rationale: While interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs), specific patterns of abnormal density
on chest CT, have been associated with physiologic decrements and adverse clinical …

Objective In 2011, the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD)
classification categorized chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients into 4 …

Background and objective: Although lung cancer is frequently accompanied by COPD and
interstitial lung disease (ILD), the precise coincidence of these diseases with lung cancer is …

Abstract Background Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) on CT may affect the clinical
outcomes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but their …
