Examining prevalence and predictors of pulmonary hypertension in adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a population-based analysis in the United States.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) often complicates idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a progressive parenchymal lung disease. We investigated predictors of PH in IPF hospitalizations in the United States. We identified IPF hospital- izations with or without PH using the National Inpatient Sample (2018) and relevant ICD-10-CM codes.
