Renaming to "Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia"
[edit]It's my understanding that BOOP is an outdated term and that the COP is more widely accepted. However they are the same disease. COP is being used more widely because it describes the disease a bit better and is less readily confused with Bronchiolitis Obliterans. At least that's what Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease states.
The above is true and the articles need merging.--24.214.167.195 23:39, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- "BOOP" is a valid histological finding. However it is no longer a diagnosis. "COP" is effectively "idiopathic BOOP". The use of the term "BOOP" to mean "idiopathic organising pneumonia" is indeed obsolete. However the histology is not. The terms should be kept separate. Axl (talk) 13:17, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
COP = idiopathic form of BOOP i.e., BOOP is BOOP (and not COP) if a specific cause for the organizing pneumonia can be found. Verbatim from the medical textbook "UpToDate", April 2007: "Cryptogenic organizing pneumonitis (COP), which is the name applied to the idiopathic form of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (idiopathic BOOP), is a distinct clinical entity with features of pneumonia, rather than a primary airway disorder." I concur with both comments above the articles need merging, and the terms should be kept separate, but in my opinion, inside one article --Dara Koper (talk) 21:45, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- A family member just received a diagnosis of BOOP from a Bronchial specialist. So I would say that BOOP is still a valid diagnosis, even in mid-2008. 68.239.125.201 (talk) 00:46, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- I think this move has been long overdue. I'm making an official move request below. Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:08, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
Requested move
[edit]Requested move 12 January 2018
[edit]- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: Moved. Clear need for move and no opposition after relist. (non-admin closure) –Ammarpad (talk) 09:39, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia → Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia – Both the American Thoracic Society and the European Respiratory Society hold that "Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia" is the prefered clinical term for this disease, and for multiple reasons (as stated by Dail and Hammar's Pulmonary Pathology, 2009, page 64):
- Avoid confusion with bronchiolitis obliterans, which may not be visualized in every case of this disease.
- Avoid confusion with constrictive bronchiolitis
- Emphasize the cryptogenic nature of the disease
The terms are about as common on Google ("bronchiolitis+obliterans+organizing+pneumonia" and "cryptogenic+organizing+pneumonia"). Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:08, 12 January 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. samee talk 08:48, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
