Due to an error in the final stages of production, we regret that the fifth paragraph in the above manuscript was printed incorrectly.

The complete, corrected paragraph is reprinted below.

“The strong recommendation made by the authors is that the press release should be proactively discussed with all patients with definite or probable IPF, currently receiving immunosuppressive therapy, in order to make a shared decision on subsequent management. Over and above a review of the press release itself, informed discussion should include a summary of the aforementioned uncertainties and detailed consideration of the specific clinical scenario of the individual patient. We recommend strongly that the patient should be offered the opportunity to take a view on management changes and, in clinical scenarios in which management decisions are otherwise a close call, strongly held views of the patient should determine the final management decision.”
