Summary

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic fibrotic lung disease of unknown cause, is characterized by relentless progression, with a three-year mortality of up to 50%. IPF has high morbidity, with 90% of patients reporting dyspnea at the time of diagnosis and this is strongly correlated with quality of life and mortality. As IPF progress, breathlessness worsens, physical functional capacity declines, and health-related quality of life deteriorates. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) can improve well-being in patients with other chronic lung disease, but little is known regarding PR in IPF.

Detailed description

The hypothesis is that the provision of a comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program to patients with IPF will significantly improve participant health related quality of life. The objective is to develop a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary 12-week PR program with disease specific educational components for IPF patients. The specific aims of the proposal is to evaluate the effect of the comprehensive PR program on 1) improvements in quality of life using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form 36 (SF-36), a quality of life instrument and 2) improvements in patient self-reported dyspnea scores using the chronic respiratory questionnaire. The investigator intends to evaluate sustained benefits of the PR intervention, changes in depression, anxiety, stress and functional physical capacity.

OTHER	Multi-Disciplinary Patient Centered Rehab and Education	This project is being withdrawn. No revisions to Intervention is available. Patients will undergo consultation and education by members of a pre-determined multi-disciplinary team that aims to bring a predetermined set of services to the patient in a coordinated and scheduled manner in order to facilitate a comprehensive and through approach to the patient's entire well being
