Risk assessment in interstitial lung disease: the incremental prognostic value of cardiopulmonary ultrasound

Abstract Background The mortality risk of chronic interstitial lung disease (ILD) is currently assessed using the ILD-GAP score. The present study evaluates whether the addition of cardiopulmonary ultrasound parameters to the ILD-GAP score can further improve the predictive value of ILD-GAP. Methods...
