About this trial
The purpose of this study is to establish a clinical database for patients bearing at risk for ILD (Interstitial Lung Disease) and to set up a prospective ILD Screening program for these patients.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age: ≥ 18 years
patients with a known systemic disease bearing a risk for ILD
signed informed consent (for prospective part)
Disqualifiers
Age < 18 years
comorbidities severely limiting life-expectancy (e.g. severe cardiovascular conditions, malignant disease)
Trial population
Patients (females and males; above 18 yrs) with a known systemic disease bearing a risk for ILD but without diagnosed ILD and patients (females and males; above 18 yrs) with diagnosed ILD.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
DLCO%pred (carbon monoxide diffusing capacity) at time of ILD diagnosis
The investigators aim to assess DLCO% pred at time of ILD diagnosis in patients undergoing a ILD Screening algorithm and compare to the retrospective patient cohort with diagnosed ILD and the DLCO%pred at time of ILD diagnosis
Secondary outcomes
FVC%pred (Forced vital capacity) at time of ILD diagnosis
The investigators aim to assess FVC% pred at time of ILD diagnosis in patients undergoing a ILD Screening algorithm and compare to the retrospective patient cohort with diagnosed ILD and the FVC%pred at time of ILD diagnosis
