Background and objective
Acute exacerbation (AE) is a severe complication of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE‐IPF). In 2016, an international working group revised its definition and diagnostic criteria; however, few studies have assessed the frequency and prognosis of AE in patients with other fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (FILD).
Methods
We used data from 1019 consecutive interstitial...
Background and objective
AE‐IPF has profound prognostic implications, preceding approximately half of all IPF‐related deaths. Despite this clinical significance, there are limited data to guide management decisions. Corticosteroids remain the mainstay of treatment despite a lack of strong supporting evidence and mounting concern that they may be harmful. We assessed the impact of corticosteroid therapy...
Background and objective
Temporal trends of healthcare use in the period before a diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis are poorly understood. We investigated trends in respiratory symptoms and LR HRU in the 10 years prior to diagnosis.
Methods
We analysed a primary care clinical cohort database (UK OPCRD) and assessed patients aged ≥40 years who had an electronically coded diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis...
