ABSTRACT Background and objectiveAcute exacerbations (AEs) of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) have a poor prognosis. This study aims to clarify the incidence and prognosis of AE in IPF and the other IIP.MethodsA total of 229 patients were enrolled, of whom 92 had IPF and 137 had ‘IIP other than IPF’ based on the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society/Japanese Respiratory Society/Latin American Thoracic Association (ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT) 2011 IPF Guidelines. IIP other than IPF included 11 patients with a surgical lung biopsy (SLB) and the remainder without such a biopsy. IIP other than IPF was further classified into IIP with a ‘possible usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP)’ pattern on HRCT (n = 75) and IIP with ‘inconsistent with UIP’ pattern (n = 62) based on published guidelines. Predictors of AE and the prognosis after AE were examined in these groups.ResultsThe 1‐year incidence of AE in IPF, IIP with possible UIP HRCT patterns and IIP with inconsistent with UIP HRCT patterns was 16.5%, 8.9% and 4.0%, respectively. AE occurred significantly more frequently in IPF than in IIP with possible UIP and inconsistent with UIP HRCT patterns after adjustment for BMI, modified Medical Research Council score and %forced vital capacity. Prognosis of AE‐IIP with possible UIP HRCT pattern was significantly worse than that of AE‐IPF.ConclusionAlthough AE occurred significantly less frequently in IIP with possible UIP and inconsistent with UIP HRCT patterns than in IPF, the prognosis of AE‐IIP with possible UIP HRCT patterns might be worse than that of AE‐IPF.

Ranked by citation count — the same ordering the engine uses when summing log1p(Cq) over citers.
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 29% comes from its base citations and 71% from the citation network (31 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
