Sex matters to patients with pulmonary fibrosis
They are impacted by their dyspnea
PF impact on sex can cause distress
Sexual dysfunction is common
This needs to be addressed, and warrants further study
This should not be a taboo subject because it matters to people affected by PF

With help from colleagues, we sent a multilingual international online survey (English, French, Dutch, Spanish) to assess sexual dysfunction using the validated CSFQ 📝
140 patients graciously completed this online survey 🙏
Sexual dysfunction was COMMON
Affecting 83% of females and 86% of males

Of 225 IPF patients in PROFILE UK cohort who completed the SPARC questionnaire, 23% reported distress due to the impact of PF on their sex life
More commonly distressed by this were men, younger age, lower DLCO%, worse cough

Patients with PF are dyspneic with sexual activity
Of 2759 patients from CARE-PF registry completing the UCSD-SOBQ, 74% reported dyspnea on Q21
Dyspnea more common in men, those on O2, with lower FVC% and DLCO%, and higher cough visual analog scores

In this study, we sought to characterize the impact of PF on sex and sexual function across broad patient populations
4-pronged approach:
🫁 Impact of PF on dyspnea during sex/sexual activity
🙁 Distress caused by PF impact on sex life
🌟 Sexual dysfunction (physical)
🎙️ Qualitative interviews
