Observational study of patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease in intensive care for respiratory failure

Prospective Multicenter Cohort of Patients With Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Disease Admitted to Intensive Care or Critical Care Units for Acute Respiratory Failure

Observational Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT06855004

This study looks at patients with fibrosing lung diseases who end up in intensive care for breathing problems to see how many survive after six months and what factors might affect their chances.

What this trial studies

This prospective, multicenter study focuses on patients with fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILD) who are admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) due to acute respiratory failure (ARF). The study aims to assess 6-month survival rates following ICU admission and identify prognostic factors for mortality. It also seeks to characterize ICU and hospital mortality rates, addressing the clinical challenges faced in managing these patients. The study highlights the severe complications associated with ILD and the need for evidence-based guidance in their treatment.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of chronic interstitial lung disease requiring intensive care for acute respiratory failure.

Not a fit: Patients who are under legal guardianship, hospitalized for psychiatric reasons, pregnant, or already enrolled in the study may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide critical insights into survival outcomes and management strategies for patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease experiencing acute respiratory failure.

How similar studies have performed: While studies on acute respiratory failure in ILD exist, this specific approach focusing on a multicenter cohort and survival outcomes is relatively novel.
