Article Synopsis
- A study checked how much inhaled medicine people with cystic fibrosis (CF) received compared to how much they actually used.
- It found that many people had more medicine than they needed, leading to a waste of money—about £1,124 per person on average.
- The results show that people who didn't use their medicine as much wasted the most, suggesting that it's important to help people use their medicines properly.
Objective: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an important feature of idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM). Factors associated with its development and progression remain incompletely understood. The authors report ethnicity differences and lung function trends that characterize the predilection for and natural history of ILD in a group of British patients with IIM.

Methods: Data were collected from our hospital lung cancer database, medical, radiology and pathology records, for all patients with a new diagnosis of lung cancer from Jan 2002 to Dec 2004. The investigation, treatment and outcomes of these patients were analysed, and the younger (<75 years old) and elderly (75 years+) populations were compared.
