Key points
- Quantitative CT-derived fibrosis burden is associated with acute exacerbation risk in mild IPF.
- Vascular remodeling, including venous and arterial changes, is also linked to acute exacerbation risk.
- Venous and arterial remodeling mediate the effect of fibrosis on exacerbation risk.
- Vascular metrics derived from CT scans can aid in risk stratification for patients with mild IPF.

Abstract
In mild idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, quantitative CT–derived fibrosis burden and vascular remodeling were associated with acute exacerbation risk, with venous and arterial remodeling mediating fibrosis effects, supporting the value of vascular metrics for risk stratification.
