Abstract：With the definition of progressive pulmonary fibrosis(PPF)proposed,the research about PPF has gradually increased.Based on the diagnostic criteria of PPF,the changes in the diagnostic criteria were analyzed,and several problems in diagnosing and treating PPF were discussed in this paper.PPF is characterized by a progressive state of several interstitial lung diseases and is associated with a poor prognosis.The incidence of PPF varies significantly withdifferent etiologies.In addition,considering the various etiologies and imaging manifestations,the principles of pharmacotherapy and prognosis also vary.Therefore,early etiological screening,imaging feature detection,prompt individualized treatment,and consistent follow-up for PPF are urgently needed.
