    Figure 1

    A multifaceted approach to the comprehensive supportive care of F-ILD. Comprehensive supportive care of F-ILD comprises four categories of clinical approaches: end-of-life care, supportive measures, disease-modifying treatment and symptom relief. These approaches should be taken with close collaboration between patients, caregivers, and the healthcare team. Reproduced from [10] with permission of the American Thoracic Society.
