Clinical characteristics and all-cause mortality in female patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in Chinese population
Significant differences in clinical characteristics and prognosis were observed between male and female IPF patients in Chinese population. Specifically, female patients exhibited better pulmonary function, higher Pao<sub>2</sub>, and lower all-cause mortality than male patients. Therefore, gender differences should be systematically evaluated in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to IPF, and targeted strategies should be developed to optimise treatment outcomes in female patients.
