Treatable traits: a comprehensive precision medicine approach in interstitial lung disease.

ABSTRACT: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a diverse group of inflammatory and fibrotic lung conditions causing significant morbidity and mortality. A multitude of factors beyond the lungs influence symptoms, health-related quality of life, disease progression and survival in patients with ILD. Despite an increasing emphasis on multidisciplinary management in ILD, the absence of a framework for assessment and delivery of comprehensive patient care poses challenges in clinical practice. The treatable traits approach is a precision medicine care model that operates on the premise of individualised multidimensional assessment for distinct traits that can be targeted by specific interventions. The potential utility of this approach has been described in airway diseases, but has not been adequately con
