Mortalities of the rats in each group.

		Number of deaths						Mortality (%)
		Day 0	Days 1 to 7	Days 8 to 14	Days 15 to 21	Days 21 to 28	Days 29 to 70
Group	40	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

BLM + PD	40	1	5	5	0	0	0	27.5
BLM + PF	40	0	4	5	1	0	0	25

Note. BLM: bleomycin-induced IPF rats; BLM + YKF: bleomycin-induced IPF rats treated with Yangqing Kangxian formula; BLM + PD: bleomycin-induced IPF rats treated with prednisone; BLM + PF: bleomycin-induced IPF rats treated with pirfenidone.
