Article Synopsis
- A study examined demographics and clinical experiences of patients with progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) in five European countries, revealing limited knowledge on their journey and treatment options.
- Data from 1,335 patients indicated a mean onset age of 60.4 years, with a predominant demographic of white, non-smoking females.
- Notable findings included an average delay of nearly 8 months from first symptoms to physician visit and diagnosis, with common symptoms like dyspnoea and cough, and a high rate of prior misdiagnosis, particularly as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
