Prognostic significance of forced vital capacity decline prior to and following antifibrotic therapy in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD). Currently, two antifibrotic drugs are available for reducing forced vital capacity (FVC) decline in IPF. However, many pulmonologists wait before initiating treatment, especially when IPF pati...
