The I-FILE study is a prospective multicenter, multinational observational study where the feasibility of a patient-led registry using home monitoring in patients with pulmonary fibrosis will be evaluated. The aim of the study is to gain more insights in disease behavior in patients with pulmonary fibrosis, so in future patients with progressive disease can be better identified.
Nowadays, identifying disease progression will have direct treatment implications in patients with fibrotic Interstitial lung diseases (F-ILDs). eHealth could be a possible solution for close monitoring and detecting disease progression, at a low burden for patients and healthcare providers. The main aim of the I-FILE study will be to evaluate feasibility of a patient-led registry using home spirometry to monitor disease progression in patients with F-ILD. The secondary aim will be to better validate existing health-related quality of life questionnaires to assess the impact of disease and treatment in these patients.
In total 500 patients with newly diagnosed F-ILD will be included. Patients will perform daily home spirometry in the first three months followed by once weekly measurements with a follow up period of 2 years. In addition, patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) will be completed online every 6 months. Results are encrypted and directly sent to a secured server through the online I-FILE application.

| L-PF Impacts | • Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis: 21-item questionnaire which assess the way pulmonary fibrosis has impact on quality of life. Total scores range from 0-4, with a higher score indicating more impact of lung fibrosis on the quality of life. | Baseline |
| K-BILD | • King's brief Interstitial Lung Disease Health Status: The K-BILD health status questionnaire is a 15 item validated, self-completed heath status questionnaire. It has three domains: breathlessness and activities, psychological and chest symptoms. The K-BILD domain and total score ranges are 0-100, with the higher scores corresponding with better HRQOL. It will take about 3 minutes to complete this questionnaire. | Baseline |
| EQ5D | • The EuroQol five dimensions 5-level questionnaire: 6-item questionnaire on five dimensions: The EuroQol five dimensions 5-level questionnaire is a standardized instrument to measures health outcomes in two components: health description and valuation. It comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Higher score indicates a poorer health status. | Baseline |
| VAS | • Visual Analogue Scale: scores on fatigue, dyspnea, cough and general wellbeing on a scale ranging from 0-10. Higher score indicates more complaint. | Baseline |
| LCQ | • Leicester Cough Questionnaire: Cough-specific, health related quality of life is assessed with the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ), a 19-item questionnaire that has been validated in acute and chronic cough. The overall score ranges from 3 to 21 with a higher score indicating a better quality of life. It will take about 4 minutes to complete the questionnaire. | Baseline |
