Baseline characteristics from the EXCITING-ILD registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) comprise a group of more than 200 different subtypes. They vary widely in terms of incidence, prognosis and treatment, yet real-life data from Germany are sparse.

Methods

The prospective Exploring Clinical and Epidemiological Characteristics of Interstitial Lung Diseases (EXCITING)-ILD registry included patients with all different ILD subtypes from different healthcare settings. Follow-up ranged from 36 months to 5 years. Data were analysed descriptively. Baseline characteristics, diagnostic and treatment information are presented as absolute numbers and percentages. The Wilcoxon signed-rank sum test was used to quantify differences between groups. Line plots and bar plots were used for graphical presentation.
