Abstract:
In Sep 2018, the American Thoracic Society(ATS), European Respiratory Society(ERS), Japanese Respiratory Society(JRS), and Latin American Thoracic Society(ALAT) jointed published “Diagnosis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, An Official ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT Clinical Practice Guideline” at Am J Respir Crit Care Med. Based on the 2011 guideline, the 2018 guideline comprehensively analyzed numerous observational studies and randomized trials on IPF diagnosis since 2011, and re-evaluated the previous diagnostic recommendations. This guideline is intended to help clinicians make an accurate diagnosis of IPF.
