[Characteristics and management of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: INSIGHTS-IPF registry].
Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift 2012 December
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a manifestation of chronic progressive fibrosing interstitial pneumonia, is with a prevalence of 2-29 cases per 100,000 individuals a rare disease. Current treatment options are limited, and the mean survival time of the newly diagnosed (mostly elderly) patients is only about 2-3 years. As in Europe data are limited on the characteristics and management of such patients, INSIGHTS-IPF was initiated as a new registry that documents incident and prevalent patients with confirmed IPF diagnosis prospectively. Detailed data on patient characteristics, diagnostics, management, clinical outcomes, quality of life and resource utilization are recorded. It is planned to document 500 patients in 30 centers. The registry will contribute to the optimization of the management of IPF patients in the long term.
