Overview
If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].
OR

Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- Acute interstitial pneumonitis has an acute and severe onset, progresses very rapidly and have a high mortality rate. If left untreated, patients die because of respiratory failure. Survivors after initial hospitalization may develop recurrent disease or chronic lung fibrosis.
Complications
- Common complications of acute interstitial pneumonitis include:[1]
- Respiratory failure and its complications
- Progressive pulmonary fibrosis
Prognosis
- Prognosis of acute interstitial pneumonitis is poor.[2][3]
- Most patients die because of acute respiratory failure or its complications.
- Mortality rate is very high, more than half of the patients die within 2 months. Patients who survive the initial hospitalization die within six months of presentation of disease.
- Recurrence of the disease and progression to chronic interstitial lung disease can occur among survivors.
