TLDR
The analysis supports the view that the value of statements can be realized in the subsequent demonstration of their impact on patient management, which might enable further refinements in a continuous, iterative rediscovery process.

A Placebo-Controlled Randomized Trial of Warfarin in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

TL;DR: Treatment with warfarin was associated with an increased risk of mortality in an IPF population who lacked other indications for anticoagulation and was recommended to stop after 145 of the planned 256 subjects were enrolled.

Predictors of mortality in rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease

TL;DR: Data from this study suggest that in rheumatoid-arthritis associated interstitial lung disease, disease progression and survival differ between subgroups defined by HRCT pattern; however, when controlling for potentially influential variables, pulmonary physiology, but notHRCT pattern, independently predicts mortality.

A phase 1b study of placenta-derived mesenchymal stromal cells in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

TL;DR: Mesenchymal stromal cells, a key component of the stem cell niche in bone marrow and possibly other organs including lung, have been shown to enhance epithelial repair and are effective in preclinical models of inflammation‐induced pulmonary fibrosis, but may be profibrotic in some circumstances.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis : Diagnosis and treatment. International consensus statement

TL;DR: Many acute and chronic lung disorders with variable degrees of pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis are collectively referred to as interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) or diffuse parenchymal lung diseases.

Changes in the normal maximal expiratory flow-volume curve with growth and aging.

TL;DR: Improved prediction equations for each sex by age group for 5 spirometric and flow-volume variables are derived and "Normal" limits are proposed that take into consideration the between-subject variability and non-Gaussian distribution of the various measurements.

Prognostic Significance of Histopathologic Subsets in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

TL;DR: Retrospective analysis of 104 patients with IPF who had open lung biopsy at Mayo Medical Center from 1976 to 1985 was performed to establish the overall survival rate, the spectrum of histopathological subgroups and their associated prognostic significance.
