Low oxygen levels during exercise occur in over half of all people with lung fibrosis and this is associated with poor outcomes. Low oxygen levels are sometimes treated by breathing extra oxygen during physical activity, but a lack of evidence has given rise to wide variations in practice and policy. This study will examine the benefits and costs of ambulatory oxygen therapy for people with lung fibrosis in a multi-site randomised controlled trial.

超过一半的肺纤维化患者在运动期间出现低氧水平，这与不良结果相关。有时可以通过在体力活动期间呼吸额外的氧气来治疗低氧水平，但缺乏证据导致实践和政策存在很大差异。本研究将在多中心随机对照试验中探讨动态氧疗对肺纤维化患者的益处和成本。
