Tracking lung fibrosis progression to predict who gets worse

This is an observational study that tracks people with various types of lung fibrosis or early lung abnormalities over five years. Researchers will collect medical information and biological samples (like blood) during regular clinic visits to understand which patients are likely to get worse and to develop more personalized treatment approaches.

Lung fibrosis can progress at very different speeds from person to person, and doctors currently have difficulty predicting who will deteriorate quickly. This study aims to find better ways to identify patients at higher risk early on, so they can receive more tailored care and monitoring.
