Core Tip	Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common and rapidly lethal among interstitial lung disease. Its clinical course is highly variable and estimating prognosis of patients with IPF is extremely difficult with important impacts on the best clinical management of patients, including the referral of patients for lung transplantation. In this review article we evaluate relevant studies published on this subject and examine the variety of proposed prognostic predictors along with staging systems.
