    Attention COACH STUDY participants:

    The principal investigators of the study request that you use the official version of the modified score here.

    du Bois Score for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Mortality

    Determines 1-year mortality in IPF patients using PFT and clinical indicators.
    When to Use
    Pearls/Pitfalls
    Why Use

    1-year prognostication of IPF patients needing lung transplantation.

    The du Bois Score is more specific, but less sensitive, compared to the GAP Index for predicting mortality.

    Simple, internally validated tool for determining IPF prognosis and guiding clinical management using longitudinal data.
