| Popis: | 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 ( |
