Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The aim of this study is to examine with the device of computer-based lungsound analysis the coughing episodes for patients with interstitial lung diseases. <br>The measurement will take 24h. Following we will compare the number of coughing episodes for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Is there a correlation between the number of coughing episodes and other parameters (lungfunction, laboratory tests)? <br><br>How many patients with interstitial lung diseases show coughing episodes? <br><br>Is there a correlation between the assessment of the subjective cough frequency using the visual analogue scale and the computerized lung sound monitor?
