Summary points:

  1. In addition to chronic obstructive lung disease, we identified interstitial lung disease, connective tissue disease-related interstitial lung disease and bronchiectasis as chronic lung conditions where prognostic factors for 1-3 year mortality have been studied.
  2. Prognostic factors in these non-COPD chronic lung diseases spanned ten domains, with older age, lower forced vital capacity and lower carbon monoxide diffusing capacity being the most frequently examined prognostic factors.
  3. Most of these studies were at a moderate-to-high risk of bias due to limitations in statistical methodology applied, and findings from these studies should be used to prioritise candidate risk factors for further study.
