©2013 UpToDate ® Print Email Comparison of outcome in COP and IPF Review of nine major published reports in 157 subjects with COP and IPF in whom the diagnosis was confirmed by lung biopsy. The rate of recovery is much higher and that of persistent disease is much lower in the patients with COP. Patients with IPF rarely improved completely with therapy. COP: cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, also known as bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP); IPF: idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
