Pragmatic Real-world Approach to Treat Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Disease in Logistically Constraint Situations: A Proposition

Understanding the etiology and the tempo of progression with inexorable and self-perpetuating fibrosis [identification of progressive-fibrotic (PF) phenotype of interstitial lung disease (ILD) (PF-ILD)] can help to decide the treatment of diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD) in the real-world practice. An evidence-supported pragmatic approach has been forwarded for such circumstances.
