note = "PURPOSE: Patients with an acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) have poor prognosis (67\% 3-month mortality) and have no clinically significant benefit from medical interventions. Lung transplantation (LTX) is not routinely performed in those patients. This study compares clinical outcomes after LTX in patients with IPF with and without an acute exacerbation at the time of transplantation.",
