Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Demographic and clinical characteristic of newly diagnosed Chinese IPF patientsup to 5 years

Data analyses will be mainly descriptive.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cause of death in Chinese patients with IPFup to 5 years

Cause of death:

a. IPF-related: i. Respiratory failure: Pulmonary failure leads to impaired gas exchange, i.e. hypoxemia and/or hypercapnia ii. Acute exacerbation of IPF (as defined below) iii. Other aspects related to IPF (please specify); b. Concomitant conditions: i. Coronary heart disease ii. Cerebrovascular disease iii. Pneumonia/respiratory tract infection iv. Pulmonary embolism v. Pulmonary hypertension or pulmonary hypertension/right heart failure vi. Lung cancer; c. Other causes; d. Unknown.

Cause of death will be showed as categorical variable, and the counts and percentile ratios will be statistically counted.

Progression-free survival in Chinese patients with IPFup to 5 years

Patients without the following events:

1. Death

2. Lung transplantation

3. Acute exacerbation

4. Require long-term oxygen therapy

5. Hospitalization for respiratory reasons

The unit of progression-free survival is day.

Mortality in Chinese patients with IPFup to 5 years

Mortality will be showed as percentage.

Description of the acute exacerbations in Chinese patients with IPFup to 5 years

Acute exacerbation of IPF (AE-IPF)

1. Previous diagnosis or simultaneous diagnosis of IPF;

2. Symptoms generally manifest as dyspnea with acute exacerbations or progression within 1 month;

3. Chest CT shows new bilateral glass ground or solid shadows on the basis of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP);

4. Exacerbations cannot be completely explained by heart failure or increased volume load.

The incidence of the acute exacerbation will be showed as percentage.
