About this trial

This study, based on previous registration records, aims to explore the syndrome patterns, disease characteristics, and their interrelationships of IPF at different stages, grades, and in its natural course, thus providing a multidimensional interpretation of the syndrome patterns and characteristics of IPF.

Age ≥ 18 years old;

Voluntarily participate in this study and sign an informed consent form.

Disqualifiers

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Disease Stage

Recording the disease staging of IPF patients. According to the Adult Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (Revised Edition) and Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis: ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT Official Clinical Practice Guidelines (2022 Edition), and the Chinese Expert Consensus on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, the disease staging evaluation of IPF is stable phase or acute exacerbation.

Time frame
Evaluate at baseline.
2

Gender, age and physiologic variables (GAP)stage

Recording the GAP stage of IPF patients. GAP stage is a risk stratification method that quantifies the three core parameters of patients: gender, age, and physiological parameters, by calculating the total score and conducting risk stratification.

Time frame
Evaluate at baseline.
3

Pulmonary function classification

Recording the pulmonary function classification of IPF patients. According to The Expert Consensus on the Diagnostic Criteria for Adult Lung Function in China, pulmonary function classification is divided into mild, moderate, and severe grades.

Time frame
Evaluate at baseline.
4

Natural course

Recording the natural course of IPF patient. According to international research, the natural course of IPF can be divided into stable, slow progression, rapid progression, and recurrent acute exacerbation. The specific criteria are as follows: 1.stable: FVC annual decline\<0.13L; 2. stable slow progression: FVC annual decline 0.13L-0.21L; 3. Rapid progress: FVC annual decline\>0.21L; 4. Recurrent acute exacerbations: Annual number of acute exacerbations ≥ 1.

Time frame
Evaluate at baseline.
