Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare survival and lung function changes in patients with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP)—both fibrotic (f-HP) and non-fibrotic (nf-HP)—to patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
- - Out of 84 patients studied, those with nf-HP had a 100% five-year survival rate, while IPF patients had only 23.9%, and f-HP patients showed 72%. Additionally, IPF experienced a significant decline in lung function over time.
- - The research found a strong agreement between radiological findings and histological results in diagnosing HP, indicating that imaging can be a reliable tool for identifying f-HP and
