Percentages are shown for the overall cohort (incident and existing fibrosing ILD) and for the incident fibrosing ILD cohort only
IIP idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, ILD interstitial lung disease, iNSIP idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia, IQR interquartile range, MCTD mixed connective tissue disease, RA rheumatoid arthritis, SSc systemic sclerosis
*Patients in the existing fibrosing ILD cohort could have existing or incident progression, while patients in the incident fibrosing ILD cohort could have incident, but not existing, progression (diagnosed by proxies). Most patients with incident progression were from the incident fibrosing ILD cohort (13,518/14,722, 91.8%)
†Time to progression was calculated from the first of the two claims that were required to establish a diagnosis of incident fibrosing ILD to the time of the claim indicating progression
