What Have We Learned? The Neverending Story of COVID-19 and ILD
StartActivity Details
Expires: December 10, 2021
Accredited By
Target Audience
This activity is intended for pulmonologists, pathologists, radiologists, infectious disease specialists, primary care physicians, and other healthcare providers who care for patients with COVID-19.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Describe the presentation and impact of COVID-19 infection in patients with progressive pulmonary fibrosis
- Implement strategies to best manage patients with both COVID-19 infection and progressive CF-ILD
- Incorporate recommendations to appropriately monitor patients with COVID-19-related acute lung injury or ARDS
Activity Description
What have we learned about COVID-19 and interstitial lung disease (ILD)? What do we know now about the potential for fibrosis in those who develop severe COVID-19? This 30-minute “Hot Topics” CME activity, featuring leading pulmonology expert Tanzira Zaman, MD, will break down the key insights as well as the latest trial data and recommendations. This activity will feature text and charts with interspersed short video snippets. Dive into this ever-engaging story and learn more!
Statement of Educational Need
Patients with CF-ILD are, unfortunately, a significantly high-risk group for mortality with COVID-19. Therefore, optimal awareness of both COVID-19 and ILD management is essential. After completing this activity, clinician learners will be better able to evaluate for comorbid COVID-19 infection and ILD, as well as improve the care and management of patients who present with both of these conditions.

Target Audience
The intended audience for this activity is pulmonologists, rheumatologists, internists, radiologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD).
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of the activity, participants should be better able to:
- Apply the latest technologies and guidelines to the timely recognition of patients with ILD as well as the accurate determination of subtype.
- Apply knowledge of the latest long-term and real-world evidence to the early and sustained treatment of patients with IPF.
- Assess the latest clinical evidence regarding the treatment of patients with ILD.
Activity Description
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) encompasses a large group of pulmonary conditions characterized by tissue scarring, or fibrosis. Lung damage associated with ILD is often irreversible and may be progressive. Various causes have been identified, including long-term exposure to hazardous materials (e.g., asbestos); bacterial, viral, and fungal infections; and autoimmune connective tissue diseases affecting the lung. In some cases, the underlying cause remains unidentified. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common ILD, but there is a large and diverse group of patients who develop a progressive fibrosing phenotype of ILD (PF-ILD) who do not meet IPF diagnostic criteria but have a similar natural history and prognosis. Historically, treatment options for ILD have been limited, but new agents and indications have been approved in recent years. It is critical that pulmonologists, rheumatologists, and other providers who care for patients with ILD are aware of the latest clinical evidence on optimal treatment approaches for various ILD subtypes. In this two-part educational series including clinical cases, expert clinicians will discuss the latest evidence-based approaches to diagnosis, classification, and management of patients with ILD. Faculty also will review clinical trial and real-world data to support optimal treatment and improved outcomes for patients with ILD.
