Progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) comprises interstitial lung diseases characterized by progressive fibrosis and lung function decline. Nintedanib slows disease progression by inhibiting FGFR, VEGFR, and PDGFR signaling, but treatment response varies among patients. We investigated whether VEGFR2, PDGFRB, and TGFB1 gene variants …

Background: Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening (LCS) frequently identifies emphysema in high-risk smokers. However, the extent to which CT-detected emphysema reflects underlying physiological impairment remains uncertain. We evaluated whether spirometry can detect functional abnormalities in this population beyond structural imaging …

Background and Objectives: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, unpredictable, fatal interstitial lung disease. Antifibrotic therapy with pirfenidone or nintedanib slows functional decline, yet comparative real-world evidence remains limited. Materials and Methods: This retrospective, single-center, comparative cohort study included 76 IPF …

Introduction: Coronary artery calcifications (CAC) and emphysema are common findings detected during low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening. This study investigated the association between CAC and pulmonary function parameters among individuals with CT-detected emphysema. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included …

Background: Despite advancements in pharmacological therapy, lung transplantation (LuTX) remains the only life-prolonging treatment in end-stage idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, real-world referral patterns in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries remain poorly characterized. We aimed to comprehensively review factors influencing referral …
