Early Detection of Acute Exacerbation in Patients With Idiopathic Lung Fibrosis - a Pilot Study (AE-IPF)

So far, studies are missing investigating the correlation between a decrease of the FVC-value and emerging acute exacerbations. Therefore, Studies are missing investigating the correlation between a decrease of the FVC-value and emerging acute exacerbations.This study uses daily home spirometry to investigate that correlation. With this study the investigators hope to determine acute exacerbations early and treat patients early.
