Real-world practice of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: Results from a 2000–2016 cohort

The study aimed to investigate comorbidities, major adverse respiratory events, and mortality in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We established an IPF cohort and a comparative cohort matched for sex, age, and the date of IPF diagnosis. We recorded the most frequent comorbidities,...

description The study aimed to investigate comorbidities, major adverse respiratory events, and mortality in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We established an IPF cohort and a comparative cohort matched for sex, age, and the date of IPF diagnosis. We recorded the most frequent comorbidities, the proportions, and time durations to the episode of major adverse respiratory events and death. Both cohorts were followed up to the end of 2016. We included 921 patients in the IPF cohort and 3,677 individuals in the comparative cohort. Comorbidities associated with IPF included pulmonary hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure, asthma, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. The IPF cohort was more likely to have pneumonia (47.6 vs 12.0%), acute respiratory failure (17.8 vs 4.30%), chronic respiratory failure (4.23 vs 0.63%), and death (36.3 vs 15.0%) than the comparative cohort. The time durations to the first episode of pneumonia, acute respiratory failure, chronic respiratory failure, and death were 2.09 ± 2.98, 3.12 ± 3.62, 3.20 ± 4.03, and 3.27 ± 3.03 years in the IPF cohort. In conclusion, patients with IPF had significant comorbidities, particularly pulmonary and cardiovascular comorbidities. The duration from diagnosis to the major adverse respiratory events or death was short.
