Median number of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) diagnoses made and median number of high confidence IPF diagnoses made for individual physicians by subgroup
| Expert panel physicians (n=34) | Others (n=370) | p-value | |
| Median number of IPF diagnoses | 20 (IQR 14–23) | 15 (IQR 11–19) | 0.005 |
| Median number of high confidence IPF diagnoses | 17 (IQR 8–21) | 11 (IQR 7–14) | 0.002 |
| University hospital physicians (n=288) | Not university hospital physicians (n=116) | p-value | |
| Median number of IPF diagnoses | 16 (IQR 12–20) | 13 (IQR 10–19) | 0.008 |
| Median number of high confidence IPF diagnoses | 11 (IQR 8–16) | 9 (IQR 6–12) | 0.001 |
| MDT meeting attendance (n=328) | No MDT meeting attendance (n=76) | p-value | |
| Median number of IPF diagnoses | 15 (IQR 11–20) | 15 (IQR 10–20) | 0.925 |
| Median number of high confidence IPF diagnoses | 11 (IQR 7–15) | 11 (IQR 6.5–15) | 0.718 |
All values are out of 60 cases. High confidence diagnoses are defined as those cases assigned a diagnosis of IPF with a diagnostic likelihood of ≥70%. MDT: multidisciplinary team; IQR: interquartile range.
