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.
