OASIS-IPF (Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis) Study

The total annual IPF-related costs were obtained as the sum of direct health costs, direct non-health costs and indirect costs. IPF-related costs were quantified for each patient over the follow-up period of 12 months. The direct health and direct non-health costs were calculated as the sum of the costs of medical visits, emergency room visits, hospital admissions, outpatient tests, non-pharmacological treatments and pharmacological treatments and the sum of transport costs, paid caregivers costs, orthopedic material costs, financial aid, and structural changes cost. The indirect costs included number of IPF related days off work and time dedicated to patient care with IPF (informal caregiver). The opportunity cost method was used to calculate informal care costs. The indirect costs were estimated by applying salary costs based on the latest data published by the Spanish Instituto Nacional de Estadística from the salary structure survey, adjusted to age.

Time frame: 12 months. (At baseline visit (T0), at 6 months visit (T6) and at 12 month visit (T12)).

Population: Evaluable Population (cost): Evaluable Population who had data on resource use due to IPF (primary/secondary care/emergency visits, transport, hospitalization, outpatient tests, (non)-pharmacological treatment, caregivers, orthopedic material, structural changes, economic aid, lost work productivity, resource use due to acute exacerbations). IPF-patients were reported by subgroup to make comparisons between groups.

Absolute Change in EQ-VAS score by FVC decline according to predicted FVC% from baseline visit (T0) to 12 month visit (T12). The EQVAS is a self-rated health status using a VAS (0-100), with 0= worst state of health imaginable and 100= best state of health imaginable. The EQ-VAS records the subject's perceptions of their own current overall health. FVC decline: FVC% (T12)- FVC%(T0) In order to estimate the EQ-VAS according to FVC decline the following variable were described: FVC % predicted along the study: Men: FVC % predicted (%) = 100 FVC / (0.0678 T - 0.0147 E - 6.0548) Women: FVC % predicted (%) = 100 FVC / (0.0454 T - 0.0211 E - 2.8253) (FVC is FVC in liters, T is height in cm and E is age in years) The calculated variable was stratified into the following subgroups between T0 and T12: ≤-10%; from -10% to -5%; \>-5%

Caregivers of IPF patients were asked to complete the Zarit Burden Interview. It is a self-report measure. The revised version contains 22 items. Each item on the interview is a statement which the caregiver is asked to endorse using a 5-point scale. Response options, in the Spanish version, range from 0 (never) to 4 (nearly always). The final score ranges from 0 to 88. A higher score implies a greater burden (≤ 21: Little or no burden; 22-40: mild to moderate burden; 41-60: moderate to severe burden; ≥ 61: severe burden).

Time frame: 12 months. (At baseline visit (T0), at 6 month visit (T6), at 12 month visit (T12)).

Population: Caregivers who have signed the specific written informed consent.

Number of IPF-patients with acute exacerbations according to Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)% that occured along one year. Acute exacerbation is defined as an acute, clinically significant respiratory deterioration characterized by evidence of new widespread alveolar abnormality.

Time frame: 12 months. (At baseline visit (T0), at 6 month visit (T6) and at 12 month visit (T12)).

Population: Evaluable Population: All patients who met the selection criteria (no protocol deviations) and with predicted FVC% classified. IPF-patients were reported by subgroup to make comparisons between groups.

The Quality of Life of patients with IPF according to Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)% predicted value is assessed through the Barthel Index. Barthel Index were used to score the ability of a participant to care for himself. It consists of 10 items, the values assigned to each item are based on time and amount of actual physical assistance required if a participant is unable to perform the activity. The final score ranges from 0 and 100. Participant scoring 100 is continent, feeds himself, dresses himself, gets up out of bed and chairs, bathes himself, walks at least a block, and can ascend and descend stairs. The number of participants analysed displays the number of participants with available data at the timepoint of interests.

Time frame: 12 months. (At baseline visit (T0), at 6 month visit (T6) and at 12 month visit (T12)).

The EQ-VAS is part of the EuroQoL five dimensions questionaire 5L (EQ-5D-5L). The number of participants analysed displays the number of participants with available data at the timepoint of interests.

The total annual acute exacerbation-related costs were obtained as the sum of direct and indirect costs for each patient over the follow-up period of 12 months. For estimation of costs the following variables were used: Acute exacerbation related resource use for direct cost estimation: primary and secondary care visits, emergency visits (primary care and hospital), hospitalizations, ICU with and without intubation (qualitative analysis), outpatient tests and other examinations, use of transport, use of formal caregiver, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments (except treatments administered in hospitalization), orthopedic material, formal social services, economic aid and structural adaptations. Acute exacerbation related resource use for indirect cost estimation: patients' days off work and informal caregiver.

Time frame: 12 months. (At baseline visit (T0), at 6 months visit (T6) at 12 month visit (T12)).

Population: Evaluable Population (cost): Evaluable Population who had data on resource use due to IPF (primary/secondary care/emergency visits, transport, hospitalization, outpatient tests, (non)-pharmacological treatment, caregivers, orthopedic material, structural changes, economic aid, lost work productivity, resource use due to acute exacerbations). IPF-patients were reported by subgroup to make comparisons between groups.
