Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary Objectives: 1. Does IOS correlate with the degree of fibrosis on the HRCT scan in patients with IPF? - Which IOS parameter correlates best with the degree of fibrosis? | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objectives: 1. Is IOS as suitable as the CPI (= conventional spirometry + diffusion) to determine the degree of fibrosis in patients with IPF? - Correlation CPI / HRCT vs correlation IOS / HRCT (comparable or IOS better?) - Our correlation CPI / HRCT corresponding to the r = 0.71 obtained from Wells et al. 2. Does exercise effects the IOS measurement? - IOS before and after conventional lung functions tests. 3. How does the patient experience the IOS measurement? - BORG score + questionnaire | — |
