Participant Flow

A multi-centre, non-randomised, low intervention, 12-week longitudinal pilot trial in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or non-IPF pulmonary fibrosis to monitor cough with a wearable device.

Each subject signed and dated an informed consent form (ICF) according to the local regulatory and legal requirements. All subjects were informed that they were free to withdraw their consent at any time during the trial without penalty or prejudice. The subjects were informed that their personal trial related data would be considered confidential and used by Boehringer Ingelheim in accordance with the local data protection laws.

Feasibility of remote cough data capture , defined as % of analysable cough device data per 24-hours recording. The percentage of analysable data per 24-hours recording period was derived from cough count (CC) recording times (total readable recording time) and defined as: (Total readable recording time/24 hours)·100 Percent of analysable cough data is percentage of 24 hours of total expected recording time that was readable.

Successful completion of all elements of remote visit (feasibility of hybrid study design). Successful completion of a remote visit was based on the questions on the home trial procedures: * Was home spirometry performed? * Was the video conference tele-visit completed? * Was the 24-hour cough recording completed? The number (percentage) of participants who completed each element is reported by visit.
