Polymyxin B-immobilised fibre column treatment for acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients with mechanical ventilation: a nationwide observational study

Abstract Background The prognosis for acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) is poor, and there is no established treatment. Hence, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a polymyxin B-immobilised fibre column (PMX) for the treatment of AE-IPF. Methods Data were retrospec...
