  1. Patient characteristics at time of stability (S) and acute exacerbation (AE) of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) for the total population, and subpopulations of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or patients with paired samples (IPF n = 11). S and AE were compared for each population using Mann-Whitney test, Chi squared test, or Wilcoxon test as appropriate
