bmjopenrespres.bmj.com/content/10/1/e… We know the need for O2 is hugely important to our patients with ILD. Just put online…check it out.

@mikey3982 Interesting…maybe the outcome questionnaire has poor psychometrics (celiling effects, unreliable, poor validity) or is off target for what ePRO education might actually affect

@SwigOutFishing conclusion "We found that person-centered care was not enhanced through educational support for multidisciplinary kidney clinicians to routinely use ePROs"

@mikey3982 Need to read. A lot to disentangle: if we use ePROs in clinic, patients need directions, time and understanding of the what for; practitioners need item-level understanding and knowledge of the so what; none of it matters if the ePRO isn’t any good (wrong items, time, or patient)

@SwigOutFishing Learning from other conditions I sense the conclusions would be the same right?

New podcast out. Have a listen as Meena Kalluri answers questions about how to manage dyspnea in patients with pulmonary fibrosis. Meena is clearly on of the thought leaders in the area. Insightful. Smart. Caring. Empathic. #curePF #cureIPF

Great session on patient centered endpoints in ILD trials going on…@drdayjee at the podium now #CurePF #IPF

@praznik_ Hey Cap’n: hope you are well. What are u doing down in the marsh this time of year?

@SwigOutFishing Beautiful brown!

@praznik_ Land ho!

What we know (or think we know): 1. Lung fibroblasts have circadian rhythms ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… 2. Their circadian rhythms not normal in PF 3. Time restricted eating, sleep, exercise - normalize circadian rhythms; ⬆️NAD, autophagy, etc. Research long overdue #IPF #curePF

@praznik_ Land ho!

Integral component of a healthy lifestyle for all (including our patients with PF). Let’s not forget the importance of exercise as we develop treatment regimens with our patients with PF.

@drdayjee @Medscape Thanks for posting Deji. I wish we had a couple hours to dive deeper. This is an excellent conversation starter and reminder to all who care for patients with CTD-ILD that antifibrotics may have a role.

🫁 Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: Who Gets an Antifibrotic? buff.ly/3m5mdkp In this @Medscape podcast Dr. Jeff Swigris and I tackle difficult questions around antifibrotic therapy in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Take a listen… #pulmonaryfibrosis #coi #CurePF #IPF
