Key Predictors of Survival in IPF: Findings From the IPF-PRO Registry

Steven Nathan, MD, discusses the abstract “Predicting Long-Term Survival in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: Data From the IPF-PRO Registry,” which aimed to identify key predictors of long-term survival in IPF using data from the IPF-PRO Registry; the study employed a classification and regression tree model to analyze variables such as FVC percent predicted, oxygen use, BMI, and age, and found that factors such as oxygen use and FVC levels were strong predictors of survival beyond 5 years.
