Abstract

Plain Language SummaryThis study examined the clinical features and outcomes of younger patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Results showed that young patients with IPF exhibit lower risks of mortality and lung transplantation but are more often treated with steroids and less frequently with pirfenidone, potentially increasing these risks. These findings highlight the need for a strategic shift toward treatment approaches tailored for younger patients to avoid harmful treatments.
