An official American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society statement: Update of the international multidisciplinary classification of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias. (2013, background): “When coexisting patterns occur, MDD may determine the clinical significance of individual patterns (4, 47, 48).”
Diagnostic criteria for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a Fleischner Society White Paper. (2017, neutral): “Ideally, the biopsy samples should be taken from multiple lobes, 97,98 and should target areas of diseased but not end-stage lung.”
Interstitial lung disease guideline (2008, background): “Two recent retrospective observational studies have reported on variation in histological pattern in patients with suspected IPF in whom multiple biopsies were obtained.(274) 275 A discordant pattern—namely, UIP reported in one biopsy sample and NSIP reported in a separate sample from the same patie”
Clinical course and prediction of survival in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. (2011, result): “Patients in the discordant UIP group show survival, clinical, and physiologic features similar to those found in the concordant UIP group, and importantly, the prognosis in both concordant and discordant UIP groups was significantly worse than that of the concordant nonspecific interstitial pneumoni”
An official American Thoracic Society clinical practice guideline: the clinical utility of bronchoalveolar lavage cellular analysis in interstitial lung disease. (2012, background): “In the appropriate clinical setting it has been recommended that the recognition of precise radiologic and/or surgical lung biopsy characteristics is sufficient to make a specific diagnosis of IPF (4).”
Diagnosis of Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis in Adults. An Official ATS/JRS/ALAT Clinical Practice Guideline (2020, result): “This sort of diagnostic discordance between sites is analogous to the histopathological variability documented in patients with IPF, in whom NSIP-like changes are common and may be the sole ﬁ nding in some samples (153).”
