Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I found it interesting to read some more date published by the University of Pittsburgh ILD center. Here are the patients who went to their center from January 1-October 14, 2009. Now, tossing out some more interesting information (at least to me) and that is a breakdown of the patients who went to the University of Pittsburgh ILD center from January 1-October 14 of last year. IPF UIP 574 Sarcoidosis 502 PF Rheumatoid Condition 277 ILD Ruled Out 179 Under Evaluation 179 Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis 51 PF of other Causes 49 Other IIP's 44 Pulmonary Hypertension 33 Occupational Diseases 26 So, only 30% of the patients had IPF UIP. I'm surprised we don't talk more here about Sarcoidosis and that makes me think either they're going to their own forum and/or its being underdiagnosed by many doctors. Also note that of the patients sent to the ILD center approximately 10% were determined not to have an ILD and another 10% haven't been determined yet.
