Diagnostic criteria include: 1) metastatic cancer or inoperable lung cancer; 2) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with FEV1 values \<35% predicted or oxygen dependence or restrictive lung disease with a TLC \< 50% predicted; 3) New York Heart Association Class III or IV heart failure; 4) Child's Class C cirrhosis or MELD score of \>17; 5) dialysis-dependent renal failure and either diabetes or a serum albumin of \< 2.5; or, 6) older than 75 years with at least one life-limiting chronic illness or older than 90 years. Additional criteria include: PAH w. 6MWD \<250m, restrictive lung disease (IPF, ILD) w/ TLC \<50%, and cystic fibrosis with FEV1 \< 30%. Eligible patients will also be English-speaking and have no significant dementia or cognitive impairment that would limit his/her ability to complete questionnaires.
