Brief Summary:

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressing scarring disease of the lungs with an average survival of only 30-36 months since the time of diagnosis. The clinical course of IPF is highly variable, with some patients remaining stable for a prolonged period of time, even in the absence of medical treatment, while others experience rapid and relentless progression. In some cases, the clinical course consists of a stepwise rather than steady decline, with periods of stability alternating with acute respiratory worsening. The variability in clinical course makes it challenging to define prognosis in these patients and, importantly, to determine the right time window for lung transplantation (LTx) referral, listing and priority status on the waiting list.

The risk stratification score (RISE) is a new staging system for IPF based on the MRC dyspnea score, on physiology variables (pulmonary function tests) captured in the Composite Physiologic Index (CPI), and on the 6-minute walk distance. RISE showed to predict survival in newly diagnosed patients with IPF better than any other individual clinical, functional or radiographic variable. RISE also predicted survival on the waiting list in patients assessed and listed for LTx.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Survival [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Primary outcome is 3-year survival since the time of diagnosis


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Acute exacerbation of IPF [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Secondary outcome is the incidence of acute exacerbations since the time of diagnosis

  2. Clinical progression [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Time to either: decline of FVC >10% pred; decline of 6-min walk distance >50 m; hospitalization for respiratory causes; lung transplant assessment; or death.
