Q. What is the survival rate of pulmonary fibrosis?
The median survival of patients with pulmonary fibrosis is 2-3 years, yet some people live much longer.

The other factors can be a more severe extent of disease, both radiologically and physically, and the development of other lung complications or conditions.
