A Systematic Review of the Key Predictors of Progression and Mortality of Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease.
Laura GroseanuCristina NițăPublished in: Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland) (2024)
RA-ILD is a severe complication of RA characterized by significant prognostic variability. Key prognostic factors include extensive fibrosis observed on imaging, a marked decline in lung function, high RA disease activity, and specific biomarkers. These factors can guide treatment strategies and improve patient outcomes.
