It's my understanding that BOOP is an outdated term and that the COP is more widely accepted.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)
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)
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):
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)
