Reference values for the 1-minute sit-to-stand test to assess functional capacity and short-term mortality in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and fibrotic connective tissue related interstitial lung diseases: a prospective real-world cohort study

Meng‐Yun Tsai, Kuo-Tung Huang, Chiann‐Yi Hsu, Yi‐Hsuan Yu et autres

BACKGROUND: Early identification of functional decline in fibrotic interstitial lung disease (F-ILD) is crucial for timely treatment and improved survival. While the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is the standard for functional evaluation, it has practical limitations. The 1-minute sit-to-stand test (1MSTS) offers …

Enhancing Outcomes in Chronic Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease Through Aggressive Management of Nintedanib-Induced Adverse Drug Reactions: A Retrospective Analysis

Yuwen Chang, Meng‐Yun Tsai, Yu-Ping Chang, Chien‐Chang Liao et autres

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Nintedanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is integral in slowing pulmonary fibrosis progression in chronic fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). However, the occurrence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) often limits its use, leading to treatment discontinuation, typically within 3-12 months. …
