Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic fatal pulmonary disease characterized by complex illness condition. There is no effective treatment at present except lung transplantation. The comprehensive evaluation is helpful for the management of patients with IPF in hierarchical stages. Therefore, it is very important to evaluate IPF by various independent factors. At present, the commonly used methods for clinical evaluation on IPF include assessment of health-related quality of life, assessment of physiological function, assessment of imaging, assessment of laboratory examination, and multi-dimensional assessment system. However, there are different advantages and disadvantages on diverse evaluation methods for the evaluation of IPF.
特发性肺纤维化(IPF)是一种慢性致命性肺部疾病,其特征为复杂的疾病状况。目前除肺移植外尚无有效治疗方法。综合评估有助于对 IPF 患者进行分层管理。因此,通过各种独立因素对 IPF 进行评估非常重要。目前,临床上常用于评估 IPF 的方法包括健康相关生活质量评估、生理功能评估、影像学评估、实验室检查评估和多维评估系统。然而,对于 IPF 的评估,不同的评估方法各有优缺点。
