It was carried out by amultidisciplinary team in seven Hospitals of Madrid. Patients were included from IPAF diagnosis. Main outcome: poorprognosis as functional respiratory impairment (relative decline in FVC % defined as≥5% every 6 months). Covariates:therapy, sociodemographic, clinical, radiological patterns, laboratory and functional tests. Statistics: Survival tech‑niques were used to estimate IR per 100 patients-semester with their 95% confidence interval [CI]. The influence ofcovariates in prognosis were analyzed through cox multivariate regression models (hazard ratio (HR) and [CI]).Results 79 IPAF were included, with a mean and a maximum follow-up of 3.17 and 12 years respectively. Alongthe study, 77.2% received treatment (52 glucocorticoids, 25 mycophenolate, 21 azathioprine, 15 rituximab and 11antifibrotics). IR was 23.9 [19.9–28.8], and 50% of IPAF developed functional respiratory impairment after 16 monthsfrom its diagnosis. Multivariate analysis: usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) had poorer prognosis compared to nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) (p=0.001). In NSIP, positive ANA, increased the risk of poor prognosis. In UIP,glucocorticoids (HR: 0.53 [0.34–0.83]), age (HR: 1.04 [1.01–1.07]), and Ro-antibodies (HR: 0.36 [0.19–0.65]) influencedthe prognosis.Conclusions IPAF have functional impairment during the first years of disease.
