Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by a male predominance. The aim of the study was to explore gender differences in a well-designed French multicentre prospective IPF cohort (COhorte FIbrose, COFI) with a 5-year follow-up. Between 2007 and 2010, 236 patients with incident IPF were included in COFI.

- - The study investigates the impact of low income on patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic respiratory disease, hypothesizing that lower income worsens patient prognosis.
- - Researchers analyzed data from the French COFI cohort, categorizing patients into "low income" and "higher income" groups based on their annual income, and compared survival rates using statistical models.
- - Results showed that low-income patients had significantly worse progression-free survival and overall survival rates, alongside a higher likelihood of having non-European origin and occupational exposures, underscoring the adverse effects of low income on IPF outcomes.
Introduction: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has an unpredictable course corresponding to various profiles: stability, physiological disease progression and rapid decline. A minority of patients experience acute exacerbations (AEs). A recent study suggested that ozone and nitrogen dioxide might contribute to the occurrence of AE.
