Table 10. Risk factors for mortality in IPF.

Low baseline SpO2
Increase in desaturation during six-minute walk test
FVC decline >10% in 6 months
Decrease in DLCO >15% in 6 months
Decrease in 6MWD >200 feet in 6 months
Elevated PAP
dyspnea severity
Higher Gender-Age-Physiology (GAP) stage

SpO2, oxygen saturation; 6MWD, six-minute walk distance; FVC, forced vital capacity; PAP, pulmonary arterial pressure; DLCO, diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide.
