Abstract
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Respiratory failure from acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) is associated with high mortality. Direct hemoperfusion with polymyxin B-immobilized fiber column (PMX-DHP) has been reported to have beneficial effects on patients with AE-IPF. Whether patient characteristics influence the extent of this benefit remains unclear. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We retrospectively examined the records of 30 patients with AE-IPF who underwent PMX-DHP. The favorable factors of survival were determined using Cox proportional hazards analyses. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The 1- and 12-month survival rates after PMX-DHP were 70.0% and 50.0%, respectively. The multivariate analysis revealed that low modified Gender-Age-Physiology (GAP) index (≤8 points) (hazard ratio [HR] 0.317, <i>p</i> = 0.015) and PMX-DHP received within 48 h of steroid pulse (HR 0.289, <i>p</i> = 0.012) were favorable factors. Notably, even in the patients with high modified GAP index (>8 points), that is, more advanced IPF, those who received PMX-DHP within 48 h of steroid pulse had a better prognosis than those who did after 48 h of the steroid pulse (<i>p</i> = 0.032). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Early PMX-DHP initiation in patients with AE-IPF, specifically within 48 h after the steroid pulse therapy, may improve prognosis regardless of the severity of chronic phase of IPF before AE-IPF.
