Efficacy of corticosteroid and intravenous cyclophosphamide in acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: A propensity score‐matched analysis

Abstract

The propensity score-matched analysis demonstrated that compared with CS monotherapy, CS + IVCY therapy did not significantly improve post-AE survival in patients with AE-IPF. Further studies are warranted to assess the efficacy of CS + IVCY therapy for AE-IPF.
