The objective of this study was to describe the current mortality rates due to IPF in Europe, based on the World Health Organization (WHO) mortality database.We used country-level data for IPF mortality, identified in the WHO mortality database using International Classification of Diseases 10th Edition (ICD-10) codes, for the period 2001–2013. Joinpoint analysis was performed to describe trends throughout the observation period.The median mortality was 3.75 per 100 000 (interquartile range (IQR) 1.37–5.30) and 1.50 per 100 000 (IQR 0.65–2.02) for males and females, respectively. IPF mortality increased in the majority of the European Union (EU) countries with the exceptions of Denmark, Croatia, Austria and Romania. There was a significant disparity in rates across Europe, in the range 0.41–12.1 per 100 000 for men and 0.24–5.63 per 100 000 for women. The most notable increases were observed in the United Kingdom and Finland. Rates were also substantially higher in males, with sex disparity increasing across the period.The reported IPF mortality appears to be increasing across the EU; however, there is substantial variation in mortality trends and overall reported mortality rates between countries.Reported IPF mortality is increasing across the EU with substantial variations between EU countries http://ow.ly/tpIO30h3hZK ER -
