Reliability of crackles in fibrotic interstitial lung disease: a prospective, longitudinal study
Agreement between respiratory physicians for the presence of crackles and acoustic change was acceptable, suggesting that crackles represent a reliable acoustic finding in patients with fibrotic ILD. Their role as a lung-derived indicator of disease progression merits further studies.
