Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and its predictors among patients with Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis attending a tertiary care setting in Southern India
This is the first Indian study reporting HRQoL in IPF. IPF impacts HRQoL drastically, with a predominant impact on physical wellness and a lesser effect on psychological well-being. KBILD is associated with the GAP index. A larger study is required to identify independent factors associated with HRQoL.
