AB  - INTRODUCTION: Access to interstitial lung disease programs may not be available 
      in rural settings. Home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs have been 
      proposed as an alternative to hospital-based programs. METHOD: Forty participants 
      with ILD underwent a structured unsupervised home-based pulmonary rehabilitation 
      program from September 2020 to September 2022. Quality of life was assessed using 
      St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and functional capacity using 
      6-minute walk test (6MWT). The outcome measures were assessed at baseline and 
      4 weeks post-unsupervised home-based PR program. RESULT: We recruited 40 
      participants with ILD. There was statistically significant improvement in the 
      6-minute walk distance (353.8 m and 368 m, effect size - 0.5, p </= .001) and 
      quality of life using SGRQ total score (38.6 and 42.35, effect size - 2.5, 
      p </= .001) between before and after receiving home-based PR among all 40 
      participants with ILD. CONCLUSION: Four weeks of home-based PR program, using 
      minimal resources, deliver short-term improvements in functional exercise 
      capacity and quality of life among ILD participants. Our home-based PR program 
      resulted in a quarter percentage improvement in functional capacity, and we 
      believe that if consistency is maintained, it will result in similar changes 
      corresponding to the already established Minimal Clinically Important Difference 
      (MCID) of 35 m.
