Titrated oxygen requirement and prognostication in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Abstract: Background The supplemental oxygen flow rate is a common bedside measure of gas exchange impairment. We aimed to determine whether a titrated oxygen requirement predicted mortality in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Methods We examined 104 adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis enrolled in a prospective cohort study and a validation cohort of 151 adults with a variety of interstitial lung diseases. The titrated oxygen requirement was defined as the lowest oxygen flow rate required to maintain an oxyhemoglo… Show more

“…A higher titrated oxygen requirement to maintain oxyhemoglobin saturation (arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry [SpO 2 ]) 96% at rest is associated with a greater mortality rate in patients with IPF independent of FVC and 6MWD [51].…”

“…Several studies have identified independent predictors of mortality in patients with IPF, including age, respiratory hospitalisation, forced vital capacity (FVC) % predicted, and longitudinal change in FVC % pred [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The 6-min walk distance (6MWD), a practical and widely used measure of clinical status in patients with a variety of cardiopulmonary diseases [17][18][19][20][21][22], has recently been shown to be associated with the risk of mortality in patients with IPF [23][24][25]; however, the independent contribution of 6MWD to the risk of mortality has not been formally evaluated in a large, well-defined population of patients with IPF.…”

“…The titrated oxygen requirement and 6-min walk test distance were independent predictors of survival. A higher titrated oxygen requirement was associated with a greater mortality rate independent of FVC and 6-min walk test results in IPF (adjusted HR 1.16, 95% CI 1.06-1.27 L?min -1 ) [38]. The supplemental oxygen flow rate had a prognostic significance comparable to that of DLCO, oxyhaemoglobin saturation at the end of 6-min walk test and heart rate recovery.…”

“…HOOK et al [38] assessed whether oxygen requirement could be used as a tool for prognostication in patients with IPF. Oxygen requirements were standardised, and titrated oxygen requirement was defined as the lowest oxygen flow rate required to maintain an oxyhaemoglobin saturation of 96% while standing, immediately prior to 6-min walk testing.…”
