Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is higher in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) than in the general population, and coexistence of OSA and IPF is associated with a poor prognosis. The relationship between OSA and IPF is complicated and may be bidirectional. This review focuses on recent research about the epidemiology, pathophysiologic links, prognosis, and management of the two disorders. Early recognition and intervention may enhance survival rates, hence better screening methods and appropriate treatment should be further investigated.
