Spectrum of interstitial lung disease in China from 2000 to 2012. Issue 3 (6th September 2018) - Ban, Chengjun
Epidemiological data on interstitial lung disease (ILD) are very limited in China. This study describes the distribution of ILD in China based on data from a large ILD centre. Hospital admissions of patients for ILD increased in China from 2000 to 2012 and IPF was the most frequent type. This suggests an increasing recognition of ILD and/or increased burden of disease. http://ow.ly/WC6t30kWlje
