The 2nd AIR meeting - the current context of European IPF research and management

This is a very exciting time in IPF research, and we, as physicians, are driving the progress and trying to improve the outlook for patients with this difficult-to-treat disease. This second two-day AIR event was convened in Rome, Italy, in 2012 and brought together leading experts in the treatment and research of IPF, providing a forum for the discussion and sharing of new developments and clinical experience. As with the first AIR meeting, this event was again hugely successful and informative, and these proceedings can be considered essential reading for all clinicians managing patients with IPF in Europe.
