ArXi:2603.09531v1 Announce Type: cross Background: Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is an upper lobe predominant fibrotic lung abnormality associated with increased mortality in established interstitial lung disease. However, the clinical significance of radiologic PPFE progression in lung cancer screening populations remains unclear. We investigated whether longitudinal change in PPFE quantified on low dose CT independently associates with mortality and respiratory morbidity.
