Baseline HRCT Findings Updated • Sumikawa et al • 98 cases of IPF • Quantified various HRCT findings • Traction bronchiectasis and “fibrosis score” associated with survival (HR 1.3 and 1.1, respectively) • Best et al • 167 cases of IPF (Interferon beta trial) • Quantified various HRCT findings • Extent of fibrosis (combined reticulation and honeycombing) associated with survival (HR 1.1) Sumikawa H, et al.

Baseline Factors Associated With Risk of Mortality in IPF • Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) • Alveolar-arterial oxygen pressure gradient (P[A-a]O2) • Desaturation during a 6-minute walk test (SpO2 < 88%) • Presence of pulmonary hypertension (mPAP > 25 mm Hg) • Definite IPF pattern on HRCT (fibrosis with honeycomb)
Updated Other Predictors Under Investigation • Number of fibroblastic foci1-3 • Surfactant proteins A and D4 • Duration of symptoms5 • King TE, et al.

Predicting Disease Progression • While clinical predictors are useful in describing the natural history of IPF, disease progression in individuals remains difficult to predict • Nearly half of the deaths in a large prospective randomized trial occurred prior to evidence of disease progression Raghu G, et al. N Engl J Med. 2004;350:125-133.

Proposed Definition for Acute Exacerbation of IPF • Acute, clinically significant deterioration of unidentifiable cause in a patient with underlying IPF • Diagnostic criteria: • Previous or concurrent diagnosis of IPF • Unexplained worsening or development of dyspnea within 30 days • High-resolution computed tomography with new bilateral ground-glass abnormality and/or consolidation superimposed on a background reticular or honeycomb pattern consistent with UIP pattern • No evidence of pulmonary infection by endotracheal aspirate or bronchoalveolar lavage • Exclusion of alternative causes, including the following: • Left heart failure • Pulmonary embolism • Identifiable cause of acute lung injuryx • Patients with idiopathic clinical worsening who fail to meet all five criteria due to missing data should be termed ‘‘suspected acute exacerbations.’’ Collard HR, et al.
