Interstitial Lung Disease: Review of Current Guidelines
Cameron Hague

This presentation will provide a review of the current guidelines for fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). We will review the evolution of the usual interstitial pneumonia/idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis guidelines from 2011 to 2022, and cover the 2018 guidelines for fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis. The talk will cover some of the pitfalls when applying these guidelines to everyday practice. We will also explore future directions for ILD diagnosis and classification. The goal is to familiarize the audience with the current guidelines for ILD diagnosis and demonstrate how these can be effectively applied in daily practice.
