The registry will contain longitudinal medical histories of ILD patients. The creation and curation of the registry with utilize release of information services, biomedical informatics methods and human expert reviews. Among the registry's long-term goals is to utilize its data and informatics resources to study and advance ILD diagnosis and treatment. The registry will be developed with a set of capabilities to consistently, repeatedly, and economically build research-grade datasets that allow cohort development from natively unstructured and non-standard phenotypic clinical and imaging data.
The purpose of this research study is to build and maintain a registry of people with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Medical information collected for this registry may be used to advance ILD and pulmonary research and improve patient care. This is an observational registry. Participants will not receive any investigational treatments or investigational drugs as part of their participation in this registry.
