Background. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a specific type of chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) that is progressive in course. Although evidence-based guidelines for IPF are available, these are difficult to interpret for the average physician and may not be suitable for use in resource-constrained settings. There was an unmet need to formulate guidelines that are pragmatic, easy to understand and suited for application in resource-limited settings.
