Among a diversity of pulmonary lesions in primary Sjogren's syndrome, NSIP was the commonest histologic pattern and had a favorable prognosis.
Significance of pulmonary arterial pressure and diffusion capacity of the lung as prognosticator in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Dlco was a critical factor for evaluating disease status and prognosis, and PAP status provided feasible information in the initial workup of IPF patients.
Incidence of pulmonary hypertension and its clinical relevance in patients with sarcoidosis.
The frequency of PH in Japanese sarcoidosis patients was 5.7% evaluated with Doppler echocardiography, and Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that decreased %TLC was independently associated with PH.
