FEV1 and FVC increase in two phases, with a fast increase until around age 13–16 years, and then a slower increase until a peak.
Neither parameter showed a plateau phase after the peak

Why read it? Everyone was merrily giving Pred, Aza & NAC to patients with IPF as this was 'best practice'. Only when this trial, a placebo-controlled RCT, was done was it proved that this practice was harmful. Always question received wisdom! #medsky #pulmsky #lungsky #IPF #ILD #RespEd
