Abstract:
:Antifibrotic drugs for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients in England and Scotland are only available to those with FVC percent predicted (FVC%pred) less than or equal to 80%. The prescribing guidance does not state which set of reference values should be used and we show that a patient's FVC%pred can change by 4-6% depending on the choice of reference. We calculated FVC%pred for a group of 528 IPF patients using three different sets of reference values. 90% of patients with FVC%pred 80-85% calculated using European Community Coal and Steel (ECSC) reference values fall into the eligible range when NHANES reference values are used.
