Abstract
Background
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrotic lung disease with an overall poor prognosis. A simple-to-use staging system for IPF may improve prognostication, help guide management, and facilitate research.
Objective
To develop a multidimensional prognostic staging system for IPF by using commonly measured clinical and physiologic variables.
