Abstract
BACKGROUND: Acute exacerbations and disease progression in interstitial lung disease (AE-ILD) pose important challenges to clinicians and patients. AE-ILD are variable in presentation but may result in rapid progression of ILD, respiratory failure and death. However, in many cases AE-ILD may go unrecognised so that their true impact and response to therapy is unknown. The potential for home monitoring to facilitate early, and accurate, identification of AE and/or ILD progression has gained interest. With increasing evidence available, there is a need for a systematic review on home monitoring of patients with ILD to summarise the existing data. AIMS: To systematically evaluate the evidence for use of home monitoring for early detection of exacerbations and/or progression of ILD. METHOD: We searched Ovid-EMBASE, MEDLINE, and CINAHL using MeSH terms in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. PROSPERO registration number (CRD42020215166). RESULTS: Thirteen studies comprising 968 patients have demonstrated that home monitoring is feasible and of potential benefit in patients with ILD. Nine studies reported that mean adherence to home monitoring was greater than 75%, and where spirometry was performed there was a significant correlation (r=0.72–0.98, p<0.001) between home and hospital-based readings. Two studies suggested that home monitoring of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) might facilitate detection of progression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). CONCLUSION: Despite the fact that individual studies in this systematic review provide supportive evidence suggesting the feasibility and utility of home monitoring in ILD, further studies are necessary to quantify the potential of home monitoring to detect disease progression and/or acute exacerbations.
