Overview
Brief Summary
Study of progression of fibrosis in ILD
Detailed Description
The overall aims of this study are * Identify biomarkers and gene expression profiles that determine progressive fibrotic lung disease regardless of aetiology * To prospectively assess biomarkers which predict progressive fibrosis in patients with fibrosing lung disease of alternate aetiology, including RA-UIP, Asbestosis, Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis and Unclassifiable fibrotic lung disease * Investigate genetic associations and epigenetic modifications which affect fibrotic disease severity and progression * Prospectively evaluate longitudinal disease behaviour in patients with non IPF-fibrotic lung diseases with a view to developing composite clinical end-points for subsequent use in intervention studies in patients

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Not provided
Exclusion Criteria
- •Participating in an interventional clinic trial
- •Asymptomatic Interstitial Lung Abnormalities (ILA) and normal lung function.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Overall Survival
Time Frame: 10 years
All patients will be tagged at the central NHS registry in order to provide mortality data. For this reason we will need to keep our datasets active for up to 10 years to allow a complete mortality analysis.
Disease Progression
Time Frame: Within 12 months
Disease progression defined as \>10% relative decline in FVC (using either hospital spirometry or home hand held spirometry) or death within 12 months.
Secondary Outcomes
- Serum and Plasma Biomarkers(Baseline, 3 months, 12 months, 24 months)
