Abstract Background Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessments and estimates of prognosis are needed for comprehensive care and planning of subsequent treatment in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We investigated HRQoL and its association with survival using a disease-specific tool in patients with IPF. Methods The patients were recruited from the real-life FinnishIPF study in 2015. HRQoL was assessed with the King’s Brief Interstitial Lung Disease (K-BILD) questionnaire every six months for 2.5 years. Dyspnoea was assessed with the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnoea scale. Survival was registered until 31 December 2022. Patient survival according to the K-BILD total score was evaluated using the Kaplan‒Meier method. The Friedman test was used to compare the K-BILD total scores longitudinally, and the Mann‒Whitney U test was used to compare the mMRC groups. P values |
