Abstract

The purpose of this cross-sectional short report study was to evaluate the perception of pulmonologist working in noninterstitial lung disease centers on challenges (COE) encountered in daily practice. Results of this survey revealed that only 40% of their patients are referred to an ILD COE, out of 69% who have access to an ILDCOE. Of these patients who were referred, the perceived benefits were rated high when it comes to having an accurate diagnosis.
