Abstract
Subjects with interstitial lung disease (ILD) often suffer from nocturnal cough, insomnia, and poor sleep quality. Subjects with ILD and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) seem to have relatively mild symptoms from sleep fragmentation compared to subjects with only ILD. The overlap of ILD, OSA, and sleeping hypoxemia may be associated with poor outcome, even though there is no agreement on which sleep parameter is mostly associated with worsening ILD prognosis. Randomized controlled trials are needed to understand when positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment is required in subjects with ILD and OSA and the impact of PAP treatment on ILD progression.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has emerged as a significant and prevalent comorbidity associated with chronic lung diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and interstitial lung diseases. These overlap syndromes are associated with worse patient-reported outcomes (sleep quality, quality of life measures, mental health) than each condition independently. Observational studies suggest that patients with overlap syndrome who are adherent to positive airway pressure therapy report improved quality of life, sleep quality, depression, and daytime symptoms. Screening for and management of OSA in patients with overlap syndrome should emphasize the interconnected nature of these 2 conditions and the positive impact that OSA management can have on patients' well-being and overall health.

Exploring the Prevalence and Characteristics of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Among Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Cureus 2024; 16:e54562.

Abstract
The aim of this meta-analysis was to scrutinize the prevalence, characteristics, and outcomes of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in individuals with ideopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We carried out this systematic review and meta-analysis in accordance with the guidelines outlined by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Statement (PRISMA). Two independent researchers systematically searched major databases, including MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library, from January 1, 2000, until December 31, 2023. We included all studies involving adult patients (age >18 years) with IPF that assessed the prevalence and characteristics of OSA in IPF patients. A total of seven studies involving a pooled sample of 411 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of OSA among individuals with IPF was found to be 70% (95% CI: 59 to 82%). Individuals with OSA exhibited a significantly higher mean body mass index (BMI) compared to their counterparts. While individuals with both IPF and OSA exhibited higher scores on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) compared to those with IPF alone, the OSA group also showed lower oxygen saturation during sleep in comparison to non-OSA patients. In summary, OSA is a prevalent coexisting condition among individuals with IPF. This presence could worsen the nighttime oxygen saturation. Consequently, there is a need for more extensive studies involving more uniform participant groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND OSA and nocturnal hypoxemia (NH) are common in patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (F-ILD), but their relationship with disease outcomes remains unclear. RESEARCH QUESTION What is the relationship between NH and OSA and clinical outcomes in patients with F-ILD? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS This was a prospective observational cohort study of patients with F-ILD and without daytime hypoxemia. Patients underwent home sleep study at baseline and were followed up for at least 1 year or until death. NH was defined as ≥ 10% of sleep with oxygen saturation of < 90%. OSA was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index of ≥ 15 events/h. RESULTS Among 102 participants (male, 74.5%; age, 73.0 ± 8.7 years; FVC, 2.74 ± 0.78 L; 91.1% idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), 20 patients (19.6%) demonstrated prolonged NH and 32 patients (31.4%) showed OSA. No significant differences were found between those with and without NH or OSA at baseline. Despite this, NH was associated with a more rapid decline in both quality of life as measured by the King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease questionnaire (change, -11.3 ± 5.3 points in the NH group vs -6.7 ± 6.5 in those without NH; P = .005) and higher all-cause mortality at 1 year (hazard ratio, 8.21; 95% CI, 2.40-28.1; P < .001). No statistically significant difference was seen between the groups in annualized change in measures of pulmonary function testing. INTERPRETATION Prolonged NH, but not OSA, is associated with worsening disease-related quality of life and increased mortality in patients with F-ILD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial lung disease with chronic, progressive lung fibrosis with a poor prognosis. Recent studies have reported a high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in IPF patients and an association with poor prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, risk factors, and clinical effects on mortality of OSA in patients with IPF. METHODS Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed in 167 patients with IPF at Haeundae-Paik Hospital, Republic of Korea. A type 4 portable device was used to monitor OSA, and an apnea-hypopnea index of 5 events per sleep hour and above was diagnosed as OSA. RESULTS The mean follow-up period and age were 26.9 months and 71.4 years, respectively, with male predominance. OSA was confirmed in 108 patients (64.7%). Mild OSA was the most common (62.1%). Independent risk factors for OSA in the multivariate logistic regression analysis were age (odds ratio [OR] 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-1.13, p = 0.007), body weight (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.02-1.09, p = 0.002), and risk based on the Berlin questionnaire (OR 2.76, 95% CI 1.12-6.80, p = 0.028). Shorter six-minute walk distance (6MWD) (hazard ratio [HR] 1.00, 95% CI: 1.00-1.00, p < 0.001), acute exacerbation (AE) (HR 13.83, 95% CI: 5.71-33.47, p < 0.001), and higher percentage of cumulative time with oxygen saturation below 90% in total sleep time (HR 1.08, 95% CI: 1.02-1.14, p = 0.007) were risk factors for mortality in IPF patients in the Cox regression analysis. CONCLUSION Approximately two-thirds of the IPF patients had OSA. Older age, higher body weight, and high risk based on the Berlin questionnaire were independent risk factors for OSA in IPF patients. Shorter 6MWD, experience of AE, and night hypoxemia during sleep were associated with a higher risk of mortality in patients with IPF.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by synovitis as the most common clinical manifestation, and interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) represents one of the most common and potentially severe extra-articular features. Our current understanding of the mechanisms and predictors of RA-ILD is limited despite the demonstration that an early identification of progressive fibrosing forms is crucial to provide timely treatment with antifibrotic therapies. While high resolution computed tomography is the gold standard technique for the diagnosis and follow-up of RA-ILD, it has been hypothesized that serum biomarkers (including novel and rare autoantibodies), new imaging techniques such as ultrasound of the lung, or the application of innovative radiologic algorithms may help towards predicting and detecting early forms of diseases. Further, while new treatments are becoming available for idiopathic and connective tissue disease-associated forms of lung fibrosis, the treatment of RA-ILD remains anecdotal and largely unexplored. We are convinced that a better understanding of the mechanisms connecting RA with ILD in a subgroup of patients as well as the creation of adequate diagnostic pathways will be mandatory steps for a more effective management of this clinically challenging entity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often observed in subjects with interstitial lung disease (ILD). It may have a negative impact on the course of ILD, but its prognostic significance in relation to other known indicators of poor outcome is unclear. METHODS After a detailed work-up, including overnight unattended type III polygraphy, all subjects newly diagnosed with ILDs referred to our clinics were followed-up for at least 1.5 years or until death or progression of disease [> 10% decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) below baseline]. We analyzed relationships between some prespecified variables of interest, including sleeping results, to establish parameters predictive of progressive course. RESULTS Our population consisted of 46 subjects (mean age 59.6 years; males 61%); 23.9% and 41% had idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and ILD associated with systemic diseases, respectively. Mean baseline forced vital capacity and diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide were 83% and 57% of predicted, respectively. Mean (± SE) Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) was 17 (± 3) events/h. AHI in the ranges 5-14.9, 15-29.9, and ≥ 30 was recorded in 14 (31%), 6 (13%), and 9 (20%) subjects, respectively. Mean distance covered in the 6-MWG walk test (6MWT) was 302 (± 19) m and 26 subjects (57%) showed exertional oxyhemoglobin desaturation. The median follow-up was about 18 months. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that exertional desaturation (HR 8.2; 1.8-36.5 95% CI; p = 0.006) and AHI ≥ 30, namely the threshold of severe OSA (HR 7.5; 1.8-30.6; p = 0.005), were the only independent variables related to progressive disease course. CONCLUSION We conclude that exertional desaturation and elevated AHI had independent negative prognostic significance in our ILD population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since the previous French guidelines were published in 2017, substantial additional knowledge about idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has accumulated. METHODS Under the auspices of the French-speaking Learned Society of Pulmonology and at the initiative of the coordinating reference center, practical guidelines for treatment of rare pulmonary diseases have been established. They were elaborated by groups of writers, reviewers and coordinators with the help of the OrphaLung network, as well as pulmonologists with varying practice modalities, radiologists, pathologists, a general practitioner, a head nurse, and a patients' association. The method was developed according to rules entitled "Good clinical practice" in the overall framework of the "Guidelines for clinical practice" of the official French health authority (HAS), taking into account the results of an online vote using a Likert scale. RESULTS After analysis of the literature, 54 recommendations were formulated, improved, and validated by the working groups. The recommendations covered a wide-ranging aspects of the disease and its treatment: epidemiology, diagnostic modalities, quality criteria and interpretation of chest CT, indication and modalities of lung biopsy, etiologic workup, approach to familial disease entailing indications and modalities of genetic testing, evaluation of possible functional impairments and prognosis, indications for and use of antifibrotic therapy, lung transplantation, symptom management, comorbidities and complications, treatment of chronic respiratory failure, diagnosis and management of acute exacerbations of fibrosis. CONCLUSION These evidence-based guidelines are aimed at guiding the diagnosis and the management in clinical practice of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

The Association between Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11175008. [PMID: 36078938 PMCID: PMC9457448 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11175008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Revised: 08/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has greatly increased in recent years. Recent data suggest that severe and moderate forms of OSA affect between 6 and 17% of adults in the general population. Many papers are reporting the significantly increased prevalence of OSA in patients suffering from fibrotic diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis regarding the dependency between IPF and OSA. Due to the lack of papers focusing on IPF among OSA patients, we focused on the prevalence of OSA among IPF patients. In the search strategy, a total of 684 abstracts were identified, 496 after the removal of duplicates. After the screening of titles and abstracts, 31 studies were qualified for further full-text analysis for eligibility criteria. The final analysis was performed on 614 IPF patients from 18 studies, which met inclusion criteria. There were 469 (76.38%) IPF patients with OSA and 145 (23.62%) without. The mean age varied from 60.9 ± 8.1 up to 70.3 ± 7.9. The obtained prevalence was 76.4 (95% CI: 72.9–79.7) and 75.7 (95% CI: 70.1–80.9) for fixed and random effects, respectively. The median prevalence of OSA among non-IPF patients for all the ethnics groups included in this study was 16,4% (IQR: 3.4%–26.8%). The study provides strong evidence for the increased prevalence of OSA in IPF patients when comparing with the general OSA prevalence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since the latest 2017 French guidelines, knowledge about idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has evolved considerably. METHODS Practical guidelines were drafted on the initiative of the Coordinating Reference Center for Rare Pulmonary Diseases, led by the French Language Pulmonology Society (SPLF), by a coordinating group, a writing group, and a review group, with the involvement of the entire OrphaLung network, pulmonologists practicing in various settings, radiologists, pathologists, a general practitioner, a health manager, and a patient association. The method followed the "Clinical Practice Guidelines" process of the French National Authority for Health (HAS), including an online vote using a Likert scale. RESULTS After a literature review, 54 guidelines were formulated, improved, and then validated by the working groups. These guidelines addressed multiple aspects of the disease: epidemiology, diagnostic procedures, quality criteria and interpretation of chest CT scans, lung biopsy indication and procedures, etiological workup, methods and indications for family screening and genetic testing, assessment of the functional impairment and prognosis, indication and use of antifibrotic agents, lung transplantation, management of symptoms, comorbidities and complications, treatment of chronic respiratory failure, diagnosis and management of acute exacerbations of fibrosis. CONCLUSION These evidence-based guidelines are intended to guide the diagnosis and practical management of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder that has profound implications on the outcomes of patients with chronic lung disease. The hallmark of OSA is a collapse of the oropharynx resulting in a transient reduction in airflow, large intrathoracic pressure swings, and intermittent hypoxia and hypercapnia. The subsequent cytokine-mediated inflammatory cascade, coupled with tractional lung injury, damages the lungs and may worsen several conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary hypertension. Further complicating this is the sleep fragmentation and deterioration of sleep quality that occurs because of OSA, which can compound the fatigue and physical exhaustion often experienced by patients due to their chronic lung disease. For patients with many pulmonary disorders, the available evidence suggests that the prompt recognition and treatment of sleep-disordered breathing improves their quality of life and may also alter the course of their illness. However, more robust studies are needed to truly understand this relationship and the impacts of confounding comorbidities such as obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Clinicians taking care of patients with chronic pulmonary disease should screen and treat patients for OSA, given the complex bidirectional relationship OSA has with chronic lung disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since the previous French guidelines were published in 2017, substantial additional knowledge about idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has accumulated. METHODS Under the auspices of the French-speaking Learned Society of Pulmonology and at the initiative of the coordinating reference center, practical guidelines for treatment of rare pulmonary diseases have been established. They were elaborated by groups of writers, reviewers and coordinators with the help of the OrphaLung network, as well as pulmonologists with varying practice modalities, radiologists, pathologists, a general practitioner, a head nurse, and a patients' association. The method was developed according to rules entitled "Good clinical practice" in the overall framework of the "Guidelines for clinical practice" of the official French health authority (HAS), taking into account the results of an online vote using a Likert scale. RESULTS After analysis of the literature, 54 recommendations were formulated, improved, and validated by the working groups. The recommendations covered a wide-ranging aspects of the disease and its treatment: epidemiology, diagnostic modalities, quality criteria and interpretation of chest CT, indication and modalities of lung biopsy, etiologic workup, approach to familial disease entailing indications and modalities of genetic testing, evaluation of possible functional impairments and prognosis, indications for and use of antifibrotic therapy, lung transplantation, symptom management, comorbidities and complications, treatment of chronic respiratory failure, diagnosis and management of acute exacerbations of fibrosis. CONCLUSION These evidence-based guidelines are aimed at guiding the diagnosis and the management in clinical practice of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
Introduction Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) impacts the life of patients and their families, so it is necessary to ascertain their perception in the approach to their disease. Methods Observational study by means of a specific questionnaire that includes socio-demographic and clinical variables, perception of the impact of the disease (5-point Likert scale), preferences regarding the characteristics of the medication (degree of importance/concern 1-10) and satisfaction with treatment (SATMED-Q® scale 0-100). Results 69 individuals participated (age: 66.5 ± 7.6 years; time until diagnosis: 16.5 ± 17.4 months; diagnosis time: 49.6 ± 42.3 months). The majority state that IPF limits them physically (90%) and emotionally (75%). The most highly valued features of the treatment were: slowing down progression of the disease (7.4 ± 2.8), stabilising lung capacity (6.9 ± 2.8) and improving quality of life (6.9 ± 2.8), above stabilising/improving symptoms (6.1 ± 2.8/6.3 ± 2.8) or avoiding hospitalisation (6.6 ± 2.7). The principal factors of concern were suffering gastric disorders (7.1 ± 2.9), photosensitivity (6.6 ± 3.0) or interaction with other drugs (6.0 ± 3.0). Overall satisfaction with the current treatment scored 61.1 points, with the highest scores being for medical follow-up (79.5) and overall opinion of the medicine (74.3). Conclusions A study conducted in Spain on the perspective of IPF patients regarding the disease and its treatment. The results show a high level of awareness in terms of the seriousness of the disease on the part of patients, whose main concern is to slow down its progression. The information provided may help to optimise the management of IPF patients.

Abstract
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare pulmonary disease characterized by progressive airflow limitation. We conducted a pilot trial to investigate the incidence of sleep disorders, sleep quality and their relationship with disease severity. We performed pulmonary function tests, blood gas analysis, overnight 12-channels polysomnography and clinical assessments in 15 consecutive LAM patients. For statistics, p values < 0.05 were considered significant. Sleep efficiency (SE) was inversely correlated with RV/TLC (p = 0.035) and positively with daytime SpO2 (p = 0.010) and PaO2 (p = 0.011). Three cases had obstructive sleep apnea (OSA); seven patients (46.7%) showed a REMOSA. AHIREM was correlated with FEV1% (r = 0.75, p = 0.003), TLC% (r = 0.57, p = 0.026), RV% (r = 0.8, p=<0.0001) and RV/TLC (r = 0.77, p = 0.001). No correlations were observed between anxiety/depression and SE, CAP rate, pulmonary function test variables and AHIREM (p > 0.05). four subjects had nocturnal hypoxia (T90 ≥ 1% of TST) showing lower values of DLCO%, daytime SpO2%, PaO2, FEV1% and a higher value of VR/TLC comparing with the subgroup with normal T90 (p < 0.05). This pilot study shows that sleep alterations could be frequent in LAM and associated to disease severity. Nocturnal hypoxemia and SE were related to lung function impairment. A dysregulation of sleep seems to involve exclusively REM phase, while NREM appears to be preserved. This phenomenon might be linked to the pathophysiology of disease: our study, even with the limits of the small sample size, showed that the presence of REMOSA is related to the disease severity, in particular to the degree of airflow limitation and hyperinflation. More studies are needed to assess this topic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) are at risk of developing nocturnal hypoxaemia due to ventilatory restriction and impaired gas exchange that worsen with supine posture and reduced ventilatory drive during sleep. This systematic review synthesised literature on the diagnostic evaluation, epidemiology, associations, management and prognosis of nocturnal hypoxaemia in ILD. METHODS Ovid MEDLINE, Embase and CENTRAL databases were searched for eligible studies. Meta-analyses with subgroup analyses were conducted, where possible. RESULTS Fifty-three studies were included (total participant number=2590). The most common definition for clinically significant nocturnal hypoxaemia was ≥10% of total sleep time with oxyhaemoglobin saturation <90%, with pooled prevalence of 37%. There were no significant differences in pooled prevalence according to ILD subtype and comorbid obstructive sleep apnoea status. Study heterogeneity precluded meta-analysis of associations and prognosis. Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and echocardiographic features for pulmonary hypertension were consistently associated with nocturnal hypoxaemia. There were inconsistent associations between nocturnal hypoxaemia with ILD subtype and severity. Multivariable analyses in most studies demonstrated significant associations of nocturnal hypoxaemia with survival. Two small short-term intervention studies demonstrated that supplemental oxygen of 1-3 L/min corrected nocturnal hypoxaemia, with improved heart rate control during in-laboratory observation and increased serum antioxidant levels after 1 month of therapy. CONCLUSION Nocturnal hypoxaemia is common, associated with DLCO impairment and markers suggestive of pulmonary hypertension, and a potential prognostic factor in patients in ILD. There is a need to establish a consensus definition of nocturnal hypoxaemia and evaluate long-term effects of nocturnal supplemental oxygen in ILD.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most common comorbidities in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Growing evidence highlights the significance of sleep disturbance on health outcomes in this population. The relationships between ILD and OSA are complex and possibly bidirectional, with multiple mechanisms postulated for the pathogenic and physiologic links. This review synthesizes current evidence and hypotheses regarding different aspects of the relationships between ILD and OSA, emphasizing the interactions between epidemiology, pathogenesis, and pathophysiology.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is one of the most common forms of interstitial lung disease presenting in persons 50 years and older. Through a comprehensive review of available studies, we aimed to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of people living with IPF and the instruments used in this assessment.Searches were conducted up to May, 2020. Quality appraisal and data extraction were performed using pre-designed forms. Narrative synthesis approach was used to report results of the systematic review and a random effects model was used for the meta-analysis. A leave-one-out sensitivity analysis was performed, and a trim and fill method was used to assess publication bias.The review included 134 studies. The most used instruments to measure HRQoL were St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), Short Form 36 (SF36) and EuroQoL (EQ5D). Standardised mean scores (95% confidence interval) for these instruments were as follows: SGRQ total score: 44.72 (42.21-47.22); SF36 physical component score (PCS): 37.00 (34.74-39.26) SF36 mental component score (MCS): 50.18 (48.41-51.95); King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease questionnaire total score: 58.38 (55.26-61.51); and EQ5D utility: 0.73 (0.68-0.79). Analysis of standardised means for both SGRQ and SF36 demonstrated worse scores in physical health domains as compared to mental health domains.This systematic review confirms that IPF negatively affected HRQoL, mostly impacting the physical health domains. This study also demonstrated that a diverse number of instruments are used to evaluate HRQoL. In view of this diversity, a standardised approach to measurement of HRQoL for IPF is important to ensure that comparisons made are reliable.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW There is an increasing recognition of the impact of sleep and sleep disorders on respiratory disease. Recent years have seen a new focus on the relationship between sleep and outcomes in patients interstitial lung disease (ILD). RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies suggest a high prevalence of sleep issues in ILD cohorts, which seem to have a meaningful negative impact on quality of life, disease progression, and survival. SUMMARY Sleep disordered breathing is common in ILD patients: obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is found in 44-72% of ILD patients, and nocturnal hypoxemia is relatively common even in the absence of OSA. Sleep disorders are associated with worse quality of life in ILD, and may also predict more rapid disease progression and increased mortality. It remains unknown if nocturnal hypoxemia may itself cause progression of ILD. Uncontrolled and retrospective studies have suggested that treating OSA may improve ILD-related outcomes, but prospective studies are lacking in this field.

Abstract
Background Many patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) experience poor sleep quality, which may contribute to decreased quality of life. Sleep disordered breathing is commonly associated with ILD but there is less information on other factors that may contribute to poor sleep quality. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 101 patients with a diagnosis of ILD at a pulmonary rehabilitation assessment clinic. We assessed the prevalence of poor sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and performed multivariable logistic regression analysis to determine factors independently associated with poor sleep quality. Results Median forced expiratory volume in 1 s was 64% predicted (interquartile range (IQR) 50–77%) and vital capacity was 62% predicted (IQR 48–78%). 67 (66%) out of 101 patients reported poor sleep quality. The median PSQI was 8 units (IQR 4–11 units). There were no significant differences in physical or physiological parameters including age, sex distribution, body mass index or spirometry values between subjects with good sleep quality and those with poor sleep quality (all p>0.1). Multivariable logistic regression showed that depression (p=0.003) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (p=0.03) were independently associated with poor sleep quality. Conclusion Poor sleep quality is common in patients with ILD and is independently associated with increasing symptoms of depression and sleepiness. Routine assessment of sleep quality should be undertaken and interventions targeting depression and coexisting sleep disorders may be required in symptomatic patients to determine if sleep quality and ultimately, health-related quality of life improves as a result.

Chinese Herbal Medicines Compared with N-Acetylcysteine for the Treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE : ECAM 2019; 2019:5170638. [PMID: 31312224 PMCID: PMC6595365 DOI: 10.1155/2019/5170638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2019] [Accepted: 05/29/2019] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a major global health problem. The prevalence of the disease appears to be increasing. There is no curative therapy for IPF except lung transplantation. Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) are showing promise for treatment of IPF. However, their effectiveness and safety are still unclear and deserve further investigation. The aim of this systematic review is to access the efficacy and safety of CHMs in treating IPF. METHODS The protocol of this review is registered at PROSPERO. We searched seven main databases for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on CHMs for IPF from their inception to June 4, 2018. The methodological quality of RCTs was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. All trials included were analyzed according to the criteria of the Cochrane Handbook. Review Manager 5.3, R-3.5.2 software, and Grade pro GDT web solution were used for data synthesis and analysis. RESULTS Thirteen randomized clinical trials enrolling 733 patients were included. All trials included had clear outcome indicators. The methodological quality of included trials was generally "poor." Few trials reported methods of randomization. One trial on Xuefu-zhuyu capsule assessed rate of acute exacerbation and mortality after treatment for 72 weeks and found no statistically significant difference between two groups. This meta-analysis demonstrated a significant improvement in QOL of IPF patients when CHMs was applied or combined with conventional medicine treatment. 6MWT was significantly improved in IPF patients after using CHMs or combined with conventional medicine treatment. CHMs treatment also had a certain improvement in TLC and DLCO, but the effect on FVC was not significant. Besides, CHMs failed to provide benefits in terms of PaO2. The reported adverse events were not obvious and severe. CONCLUSIONS Some CHMs seem effective and safe as alternative remedies for patients with IPF, suggesting that further study of CHMs in the treatment of IPF is warranted. Although this systematic review suggests that CHMs may have positive effect on quality of life, 6-minute walk test distance, and lung function (TLC, DLOC%) and seem to be relatively safe during the course of treatment, the results must be treated with great caution because of the methodological flaws of the included trials. Long-term and high-quality trials are needed in the future to provide clear evidence for the use of CHMs.
