Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Chance for a Multidisciplinary Treatment Approach
Background and Objectives: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by progressively worsening lung function, ventilation capacity, dyspnea, and finally reduced exercise intolerance. All of these have a significant negative impact on functional capacity and quality of life. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in IPF and assess the predictor...

متن کاملIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: diagnosis and prognostic evaluation.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common type of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia and has a dismal prognosis. Median age at IPF onset is 60-70 years and it is mainly related to cigarette smoke exposure. Its clinical profile is heterogeneous and different clinical phenotypes are now better defined: familial IPF, slow and rapid progressors, combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema...
متن کامل6-minute walk distance as a predictor of outcome in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
It should be noted that in 2012 the European Respiratory Journal published a study demonstrating the significant and independent association between 6-min walk distance (6MWD) and outcome in patients newly diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) [4]. In this prospective study, patients were followed for at least 3 years from the time of diagnosis. Baseline 6MWD and 6-month changes we...
متن کاملEchocardiography, 6-minute walk distance, and distance-saturation product as predictors of pulmonary arterial hypertension in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is frequently seen in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We sought to examine the performance of echocardiography, 6-min walk test (6MWT) distance, distance-saturation product (DSP), and pulse oximetry (SpO2) in detecting underlying PAH in IPF. METHODS 626 lung transplanted patients from February 1990 to December 2007 were consi...
