Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze causes of pre-hospital misdiagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients admitted to the Pulmonology Department of the Territorial Clinical Hospital N1 in 2011–2014. Methods. A retrospective analysis of medical records of patients with ILD (n = 258) was performed. Results. Despite of typical clinical manifestations and chest X-ray features of ILD the diagnosis was prevalently late. Reasons for late ILD diagnosis were limitations of the primary care management and insufficient knowledge of physicians and radiologists of this disease. Conclusion. Further education and administration work are necessary to improve healthcare for patients with ILD.
