All participants with ILA discussed at an SRM were prospectively logged, including the outcome of the telephone consultation. In order to identify ILA that did not meet the predefined criteria for clinically significant disease, a search was performed on a dataset of all baseline LDCT scans for terms in the comments or SRM sections relating to ILA. Search terms included: interstitial, fibrosis, honeycombing, interstitial lung abnormality, ILD, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, usual interstitial pneumonia, non-specific interstitial pneumonia, cryptogenic organising pneumonia, bronchiolitis obliterans organising pneumonia, desquamative interstitial pneumonia, respiratory bronchiolitis ILD (RB-ILD) and acronyms thereof. Electronic healthcare records were then retrospectively reviewed for all cases and clinical outcomes recorded, including whether participants were referred to the regional ILD service, outcomes within the ILD service (specifically diagnosis from the ILD MDT, pulmonary function test monitoring, initiation of treatment for ILD, discharge from the service), lung cancer diagnosis, palliative care referral and death.
