CJ Ryerson, E Vittinghoff, B Ley, JS Lee, JJ Mooney… - Chest, 2014 - Elsevier
Background Risk prediction is challenging in chronic interstitial lung disease (ILD) because
of heterogeneity in disease-specific and patient-specific variables. Our objective was to
determine whether mortality is accurately predicted in patients with chronic ILD using the
GAP model, a clinical prediction model based on sex, age, and lung physiology, that was
previously validated in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Methods Patients with
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (n= 307), chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (n= 206) …
