Impulse Oscillometry for Prognostication in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

About this trial

A 5-point decline of forced vital capacity expressed as % predicted, over 6 months, is the current definition of disease progression (fast decline in lung function) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. There is a need for techniques allowing to characterize disease progression earlier, so that treatment may be adapted as early as possible in the lack of a response. Hypothesis. Our hypothesis is that 3-month changes of lung function parameters measured by a novel technique, impulse oscillometry, predicts 6-month changes in forced vital capacity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
