Non-Interventional Study (NIS) Collecting Experiences For IPF in Taiwan

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a non-interventional, multi-center study to collect data from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in clinical practice in Taiwan. The study will be carried out at 10 medical centers, the expert centers where IPF patients are mainly managed in Taiwan.

| Annual Change From Baseline in Percentage of Predicted Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) at Week 52 | Annual Change from Baseline in percentage of predicted oxygen saturation (SpO2) at Week 52 was reported. | At baseline and Week 52. | 
| Annual Change From Baseline in Percentage of Predicted Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) at Week 100 | Annual Change from Baseline in percentage of predicted oxygen saturation (SpO2) at Week 100 was reported. | At baseline and Week 100. | 
| Annual Change From Baseline in Percentage of Predicted Total Lung Capacity (TLC) at Week 52 | Annual Change from Baseline in percentage of predicted Total Lung Capacity (TLC) at Week 52was reported. | At baseline and Week 52. |

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Time to First Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis | Time to first acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis was reported. | From baseline until end of follow-up, up to 899 days. | 
| Annual Change in Total Score of St. Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) at Week 52 | The SGRQ is a 50-item questionnaire developed to measure health status (quality of life) in patients with diseases of airways obstruction. The questionnaire included 3 subscales measures: symptoms, activity limitation, and social, and emotional impact of disease (each subscale score ranges from 0 to 100 with higher score indicating poorer quality of life). The SGRQ total score was calculated by summing weights from all positive items, divided by sum of weights for all items in SGRQ questionnaire and multiplying by 100. The total score of SGRQ ranged from 0 (no effect on quality of life) to 100 (maximum perceived distress). Thus, a higher score indicated a poorer quality of life. Annual change in score of St. Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) at Week 52 was reported. | At baseline and Week 52. | 
| Annual Change in Total Score of St. Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) at Week 100 | The SGRQ is a 50-item questionnaire developed to measure health status (quality of life) in patients with diseases of airways obstruction. The questionnaire included 3 subscales measures: symptoms, activity limitation, and social, and emotional impact of disease (each subscale score ranges from 0 to 100 with higher score indicating poorer quality of life). The SGRQ total score was calculated by summing weights from all positive items, divided by sum of weights for all items in SGRQ questionnaire and multiplying by 100. The total score of SGRQ ranged from 0 (no effect on quality of life) to 100 (maximum perceived distress). Thus, a higher score indicated a poorer quality of life. Annual change in score of St. Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) at Week 100 was reported. | At baseline and Week 100. | 
| Annual Change in Score of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment Test (CAT) at Week 52 | The Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Assessment Test (CAT) is an 8-item, health status instrument which provides a method for assessing the impact of COPD on the patient's health and quality of life. The CAT score (ranging from 0 to 40) was calculated for each individual by summing the points for each item. A decrease in CAT score represents an improvement in health status, whereas an increase in CAT score represents a worsening in health status. | At baseline and Week 52 | 
| Annual Change in Score of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment Test (CAT) at Week 100 | The Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Assessment Test (CAT) is an 8-item, health status instrument which provides a method for assessing the impact of COPD on the patient's health and quality of life. The CAT score (ranging from 0 to 40) was calculated for each individual by summing the points for each item. A decrease in CAT score represents an improvement in health status, whereas an increase in CAT score represents a worsening in health status. | At baseline and Week 100 | 
| Annual Change in Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) at Week 52 | Annual change in Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) at Week 52 was reported. The 6MWT measured the distance that a person can walk in 6 minutes, providing information regarding functional capacity, response to therapy and prognosis. | At baseline and Week 52. | 
| Annual Change in Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) at Week 100 | Annual change in Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) at Week 100 was reported. The 6MWT measured the distance that a person can walk in 6 minutes, providing information regarding functional capacity, response to therapy and prognosis. | At baseline and Week 100. | 
| Overall Survival | Overall survival was reported. Overall survival was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. | From baseline until end of follow-up, up to 899 days. | 
| Number of Participants Per Death Reason Categories | Number of participants per death reason categories was reported. | From baseline until end of follow-up, up to 899 days. |
