Lung function trajectories in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Lung function trajectories in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Abstract Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease characterised by decline in lung function. We evaluated trajectories of forced vital capacity (FVC) and diffusing capacity (DLco) in a cohort of patients with IPF. Methods Patients with IPF t...
