Others
NO
To prospectively evaluate whether rapid qualitative assay for GM-CSF autoantibodies using KBM LineCheck APAP at the initial visit contributes to early diagnosis of autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (APAP) and to assess the diagnostic utility of the test in patients with unconfirmed diffuse lung diseases (DLDs) presenting with diffuse ground-glass opacities (GGOs) on HRCT.

Evaluation of diagnostic performance and utility
Exploratory
Pragmatic
Not applicable
Co-primary outcomes assessed within 6 months after registration are: 1) the positivity rate of rapid GM-CSF autoantibody test in patients with unexplained diffuse GGOs, 2) the proportion of patients with final diagnosis of APAP among GM-CSF antibody-positive cases (positive predictive value), and 3) the negative predictive value of the test among GM-CSF antibody-positive cases.
1) Descriptive analysis of the clinical characteristics of GM-CSF antibody-positive patients, 2) establishment and storage of a specimen repository, and 3) comparison between the results of KBM LineCheck APAP and quantitative GM-CSF antibody levels measured by ELISA.

Male and Female
1) Patients evaluated or treated at Kumamoto University Hospital, Kyoto University Hospital, Kyorin University Hospital, Institute of Science Tokyo Hospital, Chiba University Hospital, Saitama Red Cross Hospital, or Tohoku University Hospital; 2) 18 years and older; 3) undiagnosed DLDs presenting with diffuse GGOs on HRCT at the initial visit; and 4) patients who received a written explanation of the study and provided written informed consent.
1) Patients with an obvious mass lesion or localized nodular lesion; 2) patients with an acute clinical course showing rapid progression within 1 month; 3) patients with an already identified cause of DLD, such as drug-induced lung injury; 4) patients with overt cardiac disease causing pulmonary congestion, such as heart failure; 5) cases judged to be inappropriate for participation by the treating physician at the time of HRCT assessment; and 6) patients currently participating in another interventional study that precludes participation in this study.

This is a multicenter prospective observational study with no intervention. Consecutive newly presenting patients with diffuse GGO on HRCT will be prospectively enrolled at participating institutions from the date of institutional approval through March 31, 2028, if they meet the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. Clinical information, blood tests, chest radiography, HRCT, and pulmonary function tests will be collected within routine clinical practice, and results of BAL, cryobiopsy, and surgical lung biopsy will be collected when clinically indicated. An additional 10 mL serum sample will be collected for research use to perform rapid qualitative testing with KBM Linecheck APAP and quantitative measurement of GM-CSF autoantibodies by ELISA. Primary evaluation will be based on the final diagnosis established within 6 months after registration.
