Development of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) in Patients With Severe SARS-CoV-2 Infection (COVID-19)
COVID-19, the infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, currently poses a global economic, social, political and medical challenge. The virus originated in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has spread rapidly around the world. Currently, European countries, including Austria, are severely affected.The most common computed tomographic changes in acute lung injury include bilateral and subpleural milk glass opacity, consolidation in lower lobes, or both. In the intermediate phase of the infection (4-14 days after the onset of symptoms) a so-called "crazy paving" may occur. The most prominent radiological changes occur ...

Diagnostic Value of KL-6 in ILD
KL-6 may be a useful biomarker in patients with interstitial lung disease, but there is limited information in non-Asian populations. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out studies in other populations to confirm the diagnostic values of the biomarker and its prognostic implication. Hypothesis KL-6 may be a useful biomarker in the management of interstitial lung diseases. But it is necessary to know more about its utility in the European population. Study Objectives: - To determine the concentration of KL-6 in serum of patients with pulmonary fibrosis at the time of diagnosis compared to patients without...

Diagnostic Yield of Transbronchial Cryobiopsy in Diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Diseases
Evaluation of diagnostic yield, feasibility and safety of transbronchial lung cryobiopsies done via bronchoscopy in the investigation of interstitial lung disease in comparison with videothoracoscopy-assisted surgical lung biopsy.

Digital Outpatient Services
More people are living with chronic or long-term disorders together and they live longer, which gives an increase in patients who need health services. Seen in the context of the shorter lengths of stay, and the outpatient clinics' increasing responsibility, there is a need to increase outpatient capacity without leading to more patient readmissions. Further, new services should take into account the patients capacity to benefit from the services, and their level of health literacy is crucial. By developing new services using technology, patients will be able to be followed up closely in their own home with adapted treatment and ...

Early Diagnosis of Pulmonary Fibrosis - Use of Biomarkers in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
All incident cases of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in Denmark will be offered inclusion during a 5 year period and followed up for up to 5 years with measurements of blood biomarkers and measurements of disease progression.

Effectiveness of Methotrexate Versus Prednisolone as First-line Therapy for Pulmonary Sarcoidosis
This is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded, multi-center, non-inferiority trial designed to compare effectiveness and side-effects of methotrexate versus prednisolone as first-line therapy for pulmonary sarcoidosis..
