Description
Importance: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a worldwide deadly disease with a mortality rate of nearly 100% without lung transplantation (IPF Foundation, 2020). The exact cause of this disease is unclear. Evidence has shown that IPF patients have a high risk of having abnormal acid reflux. Chronic acid reflux can worsen IPF prognosis.
