What can a patient registry tell us about the course of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis?

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or IPF, is a rare, debilitating lung disease that mainly affects individuals over the age of 60. IPF is characterized by progressive fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs, which leads to a loss of lung volume and an impaired ability of the lungs to exchange gases. Ultimately IPF is fatal.
