Condition: Sarcopenia · Sponsor: Nantes University Hospital
Fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis being the most common form, primarily affect older individuals and have a poor prognosis, with a median survival of 3 to 5 years. While antifibrotic treatments such as nintedanib and pirfenidone can slow disease progression, their efficacy is often limited by side effects, particularly in elderly patients. A comprehensive patient assessment, including evaluations of frailty and sarcopenia, could optimize care by identifying those at risk for poor outcomes or poor treatment tolerance. Frailty, characterized by reduced physiological reserves, and sarcopenia, defined as a loss of muscle mass and strength, are both associated with increased mortality and morbidity risks. Although their individual impacts on fibrosing ILDs have been documented, the combined effect of these two syndromes on patient prognosis remains unexplored, highlighting the need for further studies to guide therapeutic decision-making.
