Popis: | In therapeutic studies in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the low prevalence of significant change in pulmonary functional tests (PFTs) has been a major constraint. The prognostic value of "marginal" changes in PFTs in IPF and fibrotic non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) was evaluated. In patients with biopsy-proven IPF (n = 84) and NSIP (n = 72), forced vital capacity (FVC) and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (D( L,CO)) trends at 6 months were categorised as "significant" (FVC >10%; D(L,CO) >15%) or "marginal" (FVC 5-10%; D(L,CO) 7.5-15%). Proportional hazards analysis and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic methodology were used to examine PFT trends against mortality. In IPF, reductions in FVC were significant in 22 cases (26%) and marginal in 19 cases (23%). Mortality was higher in patients with a significant decline in FVC (hazard ratio (HR) 2.80, 95% CI 1.54-5.06; p |
