What this trial studies

This observational study aims to analyze the effects of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) in China. It will include at least 5000 ILD patients who will be followed for a minimum of five years. Participants will be divided into two cohorts: one receiving TCM treatment and the other not. The study will assess various factors including demographic characteristics, clinical features, disease progression, and the efficacy of TCM in managing ILD symptoms and improving quality of life.
