Official title

Research on the Disease-syndrome Characteristics of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Overview

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.

Detailed description

This study, based on previous registration records, uses a cross-sectional survey design to collect demographic information, disease-related data, syndrome data, and auxiliary examination data from 2864 IPF patients in China. It aims to elucidate the syndrome types, disease characteristics, and the interrelationships between them of IPF at different stages, grades, and in its natural course.

Primary outcome measures

  • Disease Stage [Time frame: Evaluate at baseline.]
  • Gender, age and physiologic variables (GAP)stage [Time frame: Evaluate at baseline.]
  • Pulmonary function classification [Time frame: Evaluate at baseline.]
  • Natural course [Time frame: Evaluate at baseline.]
  • The Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) Syndromes [Time frame: Evaluate at baseline.]
  • 6 Six Minute Walk Distance(6MWD) [Time frame: Evaluate at baseline.]
  • The 30 - second sit - to - stand test(30s STS) [Time frame: Evaluate at baseline.]
  • A Tool to Assess Quality of life (ATAQ-IPF) total scores [Time frame: Evaluate at baseline.]
  • St. George's respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) total scores [Time frame: Evaluate at baseline.]
  • Dyspnea [Time frame: Evaluate at baseline.]
