Our study brought to light the variability in disease assessment and clinical practice amongst providers caring for patients with RA-ILD and indicate that greater education is needed to optimize clinical decision making in the risk assessment, screening and treatment of RA-ILD. Research questions that address appropriate screening and treatment strategies for RA-ILD will be valuable for rheumatologists given their central role in the overall health and lung health of patients with RA.
