Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Health Services for Persons with Lung Fibrosis: Discussion
Ms Maureen O'Donnell:
In terms of the Covid question specifically, during Covid, lung fibrosis patients who were admitted to hospital died at a rate of 50%, so half of them died. That compares with approximately 20% of the general patient population during Covid. Maybe Dr. Hurley could talk about that a little bit more.
