Summary:Corresponding author's email: yxjry228@ybb.ne.jp [RATIONALE] Recently, European Respiratory Society/American Thoracic Society research statement proposed criteria for patients with interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF), which has features suggestive of connective tissue disease (CTD). In IIPs, Cox proportional hazards analysis revealed that the diagnosis of IPF was a risk factor for mortality [hazard ratio (HR), 2.192; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.112-4.320; P=0.023].
