Trend in Ventilation Use in IPF Hospitalizations. The proportion of IPF hospitalizations where mechanical ventilation was used declined each year, going from 12.1% (887) in 2009, to 11.5% (764) in 2010, and 10.7% (894) in 2011 (p = 0.578). The use of non-invasive ventilation increased over the same period: 7.9% (583) in 2009, 8.3% (550) in 2010, and 10.3% (862) in 2011 (p = 0.112)
