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
Seven patients participated in telephone interviews to discuss the impact of PF on sex and sexual function Themes that emerged: 🫶 Relationships 😊 Quality of Life 🫁 Impact of PF on sex 🫤 Oxygen use Several important representative quotes and thematic examples in the full manuscript
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
