The aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of blood biomarkers during exacerbations, or other increase in respiratory symptoms requiring hospital admission in patients with IPF. Patients that are already included in the PFBIO-cohort (NCT02755441) and who are admitted to hospital with an increase in respiratory symptoms, are also included in PFBIO-EXA. Patients are recruited within 24 hrs. from hospital admission with respiratory worsening, where clinical data, and blood samples are collected. The blood samples are investigated for the same blood biomarkers as PFBIO. Patient related outcomes are also collected, including quality-of-life questionnaires and outcomes of the exacerbations.
