The Drug-Induced Respiratory Disease Website and App
Frequency - Incidence
Incidence of respiratory adverse event(s) due to the specific drug as assessed by number of reported/published cases in the literature. Red digits in stars indicate: 0 = Very rare, questionable signal · 1 = < 10 cases · 2 = 10-50 cases · 3 = 50–100 cases · 4 = 100-200 cases · 5 = >200 cases
Evidence level/grade
Evidence level for respiratory adverse event(s) due to the specific drug as estimated using Hill’s (1965), Naranjo’s (1981), and Bégaud’s (1985) criteria applied to published cases. Blue digits in stars indicate: 0 = Questionable · 1 = Low · 2 = Moderate · 3 = Robust · 4 = Definite · 5 = Unquestionable, pathognomonic
Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE)
(Fr: fibroelastose pleuropulmonaire - Fibrose biapicale). A disease of the pleuropulmonary interface (see also under Vp). Spontaneous pneumothorax often seen as a complication. Formerly called 'Upper Lobe Fibrosis' - Usually localizes in the apices bilaterally. The corresponding pleura appears to be thickened. Pneumothorax. Biopsy extreme caution required as pneumothorax and prolonged air leak is a usual complication
