Overview

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an unpredictable and advanced lung disease with fibrotic changes and an overwhelming disease burden to the patient and their caregivers. IPF is associated with high mortality and morbidity, negatively impacting their health-related quality of life (HRQL). Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive lung disorder with scarring of the lungs from an unknown cause and a poor long-term prognosis (Meyer & Nathan, 2019). Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) affects approximately 5 million people worldwide, with an average age of 66 years and an average life span of 3-5 years after confirmed diagnosis (Anderson et al., 2020; Raghu et al., 2018). IPF is an unrelenting ILD associated with a high symptom burden and reported low HRQL (Fenwick & Swan, 2020). IPF has no cure outside a lung transplant; however, supportive care and palliative care, as outlined by the ATS guidelines, ensure sustainable quality of life as the disease progresses (Anderson et al., 2020; Raghu et al., 2018).

Objectives

Identify risk factors and clinical assessment.
Discuss workup of IPF as part of PF-ILD.
Discuss current guidelines and evolving modalities.
