Real-World Clinical Outcomes Based on Body Mass Index and Annualized Weight Change in Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Identification of clinical characteristics associated with prognosis for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) may help to guide management decisions. This analysis utilized data from the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry to examine the relationships between clinical outcomes and both body mass index (BMI) at study enrollment (hereafter referred to as baseline BMI) and annualized percent change in body weight in patients with IPF in a real-world setting.

Methods

The following outcomes over 24 months were stratified by baseline BMI and annualized percent change in body weight: all-cause mortality; annualized change in percent predicted forced vital capacity (%FVC), percent predicted diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, and 6-min walk distance; all-c
