    Background Available epidemiological data suggest that IPF is a frequent and unfavourable fibrosing ILD. Yet, data on outcome differences between IPF and other ILDs are scant.

    Method The prospective, multi-centre German ILD registry “EXCITING” was analysed for differences in outcomes between IPF and other ILDs.

    Results Out of 601 patients (60% male, 53% ex-/smokers, medians: age 64 years, FVC 75%, DLCO 53%), 151 (25%) suffered from IPF (76% male, 58% ex-/smokers, medians: age 74 years, FVC 69%, DLCO 39%). Of 314 all-cause hospitalisations 32% occurred in IPF. Also, IPF accounted for 29% and 35% of respiratory and acute exacerbation (AE) related hospitalisations, respectively. Out of 91 deceased patients, 46% had IPF. Time to death was 101 months for IPF compared to 229 months for non-IPF ILDs (non-IPF, p < 0.001). 91% of death followed hospitalisations, 50% of death occurred after respiratory related hospitalisations, of which were 36% in IPF. Mortality after AE-hospitalisation was similar for IPF and non-IPF (45%). Yet, for respiratory related hospitalisation without AE, mortality was higher for IPF (50%) compared to non-IPF (15%). Progression free survival (PFS, time from diagnosis to decrease in FVC > 10%, hospitalization due to respiratory reason or death), differed between IPF vs. non-IPF with a mean of 62 months vs. 113 months (p = 0.006). In IPF, there was also a trend for differences in PFS related to baseline FVC: for FVC < 50% 52 months, FVC 50 – 90% 63 months and for FVC > 90% 107 months (p = 0.077).

    Conclusions IPF is a common ILD subtype with frequent hospitalisations, more rapid progression and worse mortality than other ILDs.
