| Wilken et al (2011)9 | Yes | Systematic review and meta-analysis of lung function in asbestos-exposed workers, including lung function changes associated with radiographic findings. Meta-analysis with data from 9,921 asbestos-exposed workers found statistically significant reduction in VC, FEV1 and FEV1/VC that was related to extent of radiographic findings. Less severe lung function impairments were detected if the diagnoses were based on HRCT instead of plain chest images |

| Jawad et al (2012)89 | No | Reviews use of HRCT in ILD |
| Poletti et al (2012)90 | No | Focuses on idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia; notes that pattern can occur after occupational exposure |
