Popis: Aims and objectives: The aim of the study was to compare the annual declineof lung functions during treatment with pirfenidone in comparison to triple-combination and other treatment modalities in Czech patients with IPF. Methods: Currently, the Czech IPF registry consists of 517 patients diagnosed with IPF-UIP. Our retrospective study included 72 patients treated with pirfenidone, 27 with triple-combination and 97 received other treatment modalities. To estimate the annual change of FVC and TLCO, a linear regression model with mixed effects was used. p -value Results: The comparison of changes in lung function over a 1-year follow-up showed lower decrease in the predicted value (PV) of FVC in pirfenidon group than in triple-combination (-0.093 vs -0.222, p -value=0.026) and trend to lower decrease in comparison to other treatment modalities (-0.093 vs -0.162, p -value=0.082). Also, a 1-year decrease in the PV of a TLCO was smaller in pirfenidon group than in triple-combination (0.221 vs -0.453, p -value=0.096) and other modalities group (-0.221 vs -0.389, p -value=0.082); however the decrease did reach significancy between studied groups. Conclusion: In Czech IPF patients, pirfenidone administration was associated with the lower decrease in lung function (FVC, TLCO) comparing with other treatment modalities. Our observation supports current recommendation of pirferidon for mild and moderate IPF. Supported by IGA_LF_2016_011.
