Elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) is a significant prognostic indicator in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It has been reported that the computed tomography‐determined ratio of the diameter of the pulmonary artery to the aorta (PA:A) is correlated with mPAP in various respiratory diseases. However, in patients with IPF, whether the PA:A can be used to predict elevated mPAP and the prognostic value of the PA:A has not been fully evaluated.
