BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive diffuse lung disease leading to chronic respiratory failure and death in 3-5 years. Among potential prognostic biomarkers, alveolar nitric oxide (CaNO) and scrum periostin showed to predict mortality and disease progression in these patients. The aim of this study is to investigate potential correlations between CaNO and serum periostin and evaluate their prognostic value.METHODS: Fifty-nine patients with IPF (47 males, 65.5 +/- 9.5 years old) were recruited in Siena Regional Referral Center for Interstitial Lung Disease. In this population, we retrospectively collected multiple-flows exhaled nitric oxide parameters and serum periostin at diagnosis and compared these values with a control group of 60 and 8 healthy volunteers, respectively. Clinical, functional and survival data were collected according to our Center follow-up program.RESULTS: IPF patients reported higher levels of CaNO but not of periostin in respect with healthy controls (P
