Questions about Interstitial Lung Disease
Will a nurse and social worker telecare team improve quality of life for my lung disease?
Yes, a nurse and social worker telecare team (ADAPT) improved quality of life, health status, depression, and anxiety in patients with interstitial lung disease in a randomized trial.
Full answer →Does smoking increase the risk of developing interstitial lung disease in arthritis patients?
Yes, smoking increases the risk of interstitial lung disease in arthritis patients, especially those with psoriatic arthritis.
