unclassifiable ILD indicates two or more ILD diagnoses remained under consideration or ILD remained unclassifiable.

unclassifiable fibrosis indicates radiologic findings of pulmonary fibrosis were present, but more specific radiologic patterns of fibrosis were absent.

chronic aspiration (n = 1), constrictive bronchiolitis (n = 1), post-infectious ILD (n = 1), chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (n = 1).

idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (n = 1), constrictive bronchiolitis (n = 1), congenital bronchopulmonary dysplasia (n = 1).
