Abstract
Hospitalizations are common events in patients with IPF. Most hospitalizations are respiratory-related and are associated with high in-hospital mortality and limited survival beyond discharge. Both all-cause and respiratory hospitalizations are associated with mortality, and therefore, either could be used as an end point in IPF clinical trials.
