We included studies examining bulk transcriptomics of human adult interstitial lung disease samples and excluded those focusing on individual cell populations. Patient-level data and expression matrices were extracted from 43 studies and integrated using a multivariable integrative algorithm to develop interstitial lung disease classification models.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Using 1459 samples from 24 studies, we identified transcriptomic signatures for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia and systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease against control samples, which were validated on 308 samples from eight studies (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis area under receiver operating curve (AUC) 0.99, 95% CI 0.99\u20131.00; hypersensitivity pneumonitis AUC 0.91, 95% CI 0.84\u20130.99; nonspecific interstitial pneumonia AUC 0.94, 95% CI 0.88\u20130.99; systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease AUC 0.98, 95% CI 0.93\u20131.00). Significantly, meta-analysis allowed us to identify, for the first time, robust lung transcriptomics signatures to discriminate idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AUC 0.71, 95% CI 0.63\u20130.79) and hypersensitivity pneumonitis (AUC 0.76, 95% CI 0.63\u20130.89) from other fibrotic interstitial lung disease, and unsupervised learning algorithms identified putative molecular endotypes of interstitial lung disease associated with decreased forced vital capacity and diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide % predicted.
