Our research underscores the significant prevalence of largely asymptomatic pulmonary involvement in newly diagnosed RA and PsA patients. These findings highlight the importance of an early, multidisciplinary screening approach, particularly for high-risk individuals. Further large-scale studies are needed to develop comprehensive screening protocols to improve early detection and treatment of pulmonary involvement in arthritis.
