ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Fibrosing interstitial lung disease (F-ILD) is a major public health concern due to its poor prognosis. Recent clinical evidence shows that antifibrotic approaches such as pirfenidone and nintedanib provide better clinical outcome prediction in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) as well as selected progressive fibrosing ILD (PF-ILD) patients. Having epidemiologic insight into these diseases will be essential for the efficient utilization of these therapeutic resources. This study aimed to estimate the current prevalence, incidence, and mortality of F-ILD classified as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), PF-ILD other than IPF, and non-progressive F-ILD and their temporal trend in Korea.METHODS:
Population-based retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment (HIRA) database (2011-2018). Patients with IPF were identified using ICD-10 code, RID code, and differential diagnosis approach. By leveraging medical records available from claim data and referencing those used in clinical trials, rigorous diagnostic criteria for PF-ILD detection were implemented.RESULTS:
For the past eight years, the prevalence of IPF and PF-ILD has progressively increased, while non-progressive F-ILD has remained stable. IPF, PF-ILD, and non-progressive F-ILD prevalence per 100,000 in 2018 were 16.9, 10.4, and 11.7, respectively. The incidence of IPF in 2018 was more than twice that of 2012. The incidence of PF-ILD in 2018 was 1.5 times higher than that in 2012. In 2018, the mortalites were 10.3% and 12.2% for IPF and PF-ILD, respectively. The mortality rate of PF-ILD was greater than that of IPF in all years. Unclassifiable PF-ILD and rheumatoid arthritis-PF-ILD had the highest proportion and mortality among the PF-ILD subtypes.CONCLUSION:
The prevalence and incidence of IPF and PF-ILD have been steadily increasing in recent years. The mortality rate of PF-ILD remained consistently high and exceeded those of IPF in all years.Palavras-chave
