PY - 2015 DA - 2015/12/29 TI - Change in forced vital capacity and associated subsequent outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis JO - BMC Pulmonary Medicine SP - 167 VL - 15 IS - 1 AB - Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare and serious disease characterized by progressive lung-function loss. Limited evidence has been published on the impact of lung-function loss on subsequent patient outcomes. This study examined change in forced vital capacity (FVC) across IPF patients in the 6 months after diagnosis and its association with clinical and healthcare resource utilization (HRU) outcomes in a real-world setting in the U.S. SN - 1471-2466 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s12890-015-0161-5 DO - 10.1186/s12890-015-0161-5 ID - Reichmann2015 ER -
