The effect of emphysema on lung function and survival in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

ABSTRACT Background and objective: In this study the prevalence, lung function and prognosis of IPF combined with emphysema were evaluated. Methods: Consecutive patients with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) on high‐resolution computed tomography (HRCT), with or without emphysema, were assessed...

Zusammenfassung:	ABSTRACT Background and objective: In this study the prevalence, lung function and prognosis of IPF combined with emphysema were evaluated. Methods: Consecutive patients with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) on high‐resolution computed tomography (HRCT), with or without emphysema, were assessed retrospectively. The area of fibrosis in the base of the lungs was assessed by HRCT as minimal (
