Impact of COVID-19 Infection on Patients with Preexisting Interstitial Lung Disease: A Spanish Multicentre Study.

Moreover, in the crude and multivariable analysis, some factors showed a trend to association with a higher risk of mortality: previous diagnosis of IPF, older age (over 60 years), history of arterial hypertension or diabetes mellitus, impaired baseline lung function (FVC ≤ 80%, DLCO ≤ 40%) and the use of LTOT.

Patients with IPF presented higher mortality compared to “CTD-ILDs” and “other ILDs” (34.8% versus 30% and 32.8%, respectively, p = 0.979) ( Table 1 ), although these differences did not reach statistical significance, probably due to the low sample size, which is the main limitation of our study.
