PHINDER: Pulmonary Hypertension Screening in Patients with Interstitial Lung Disease for Earlier Detection

The primary objective of this study is to prospectively evaluate screening strategies for PH in patients with ILD in an effort to promote awareness and encourage screening for PH in this patient population. Results from this study will be used to identify and weigh specific clinical parameters based on their prognostic significance for RHC-confirmed PH in patients with ILD. As the primary objective of this study is to collect a broad range of clinical parameters in patients with ILD, it is expected that numerous exploratory and post-hoc analyses will be performed to identify and weigh specific parameters based on their prognostic significance for PH in this patient population, with the goal of developing an algorithm to help detect PH in patients with ILD.
