Study groups in NCT02479126
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Interstitial Lung DiseasePatients will be identified from a specified 5 year period based on an International Classification of Diseases-9 (ICD-9) code diagnosis of Interstitial Lung disease (515) or Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (516.3). The patients will be obtained from the records of the Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 6: VA Mid-Atlantic Health Care Network.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Prevalence of Interstitial Lung Disease in the VISN6 Veterans Administration Patient Population

    Measured: up to 5 years

  2. Prevalence of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in the VISN6 Veterans Administration Patient Population

    Measured: up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Accuracy of ICD-9 Codes for diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease

    Will compare the reported ICD-9 code diagnosis with the diagnosis made after chart review and re-interpretation of the lung imaging and pathology

    Measured: up to 5 years

  2. Frequency of ICD-9 code diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease and clinic consultation with a pulmonary provider

    Measured: up to 5 years

  3. Prevalence of Co-morbid Diabetes Mellitus with Interstitial Lung Disease

    Compare the prevalence of diabetes with interstitial lung disease as compared to the prevalence of diabetes in the general VA population
