Abstract

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive interstitial lung disease with an unknown etiology. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been proposed as a potential risk factor for IPF, but the association between these two conditions remains unclear. This clinical study aims to investigate the prevalence and clinical significance of GERD in patients with IPF. A cohort of IPF patients was examined for the presence of GERD symptoms, and diagnostic tests, such as esophageal pH monitoring and endoscopy, were performed to confirm GERD. The study explores the relationship between GERD and IPF severity, progression, and overall clinical outcomes. The findings provide valuable insights into the association between GERD and IPF, contributing to better management and treatment strategies for these patients.
