Abstract

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most frequent chronic idiopathic interstitial pneumonia in adults. The management of rare diseases in France has been organised by a national plan for rare diseases, which endorsed a network of expert centres for rare diseases throughout France. This article is an overview of the executive summary of the French guidelines for the management of IPF, an initiative that emanated from the French National Reference Centre and the Network of Regional Competence Centres for Rare Lung Diseases. This review aims at providing pulmonologists with a document that: 1) combines the current available evidence; 2) reviews practical modalities of diagnosis and management of IPF; and 3) is adapted to everyday medical practice. The French practical guidelines result from the combined efforts of a coordination committee, a writing committee and a multidisciplinary review panel, following recommendations from the Haute Autorité de Santé. All recommendations included in this article received at least 90% agreement by the reviewing panel. Herein, we summarise the main conclusions and practical recommendations of the French guidelines.

    • Diagnosis of IPF
    • Question 1: What main causes of diffuse interstitial pneumonia should be clinically investigated in patients considered to potentially have IPF?
    • Question 2: What biological work-up should be performed in patients considered to have IPF?
    • Question 3: Should BAL be performed in patients suspected of having IPF?
    • Question 4: When should genetic testing be performed in patients suspected of having IPF?
    • Question 5: What pulmonary function tests should be performed at the time of IPF diagnosis?
    • Question 6: When is HRCT sufficient for the diagnosis of IPF in patients not subjected to video-assisted SLB?
    • Question 7: In what patients should SLB be considered to establish the diagnosis of IPF?
    • Question 8: What is the role of multidisciplinary team discussion in the diagnosis of IPF and how is it conducted?
    • Question 9: How should prognosis be assessed in IPF patients?
