Proportion of Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients with Improved, Stable, or Worsened Lung Function Over 1-Year: Results from a Multicenter, Prospective Cohort Study - ACR Meeting Abstracts
Background/Purpose: Several lung diseases are associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), including interstitial lung disease (ILD) and emphysema. In RA-ILD baseline lung function and decline in lung f...

Disease activity, inflammation, and older age are associated with quantitative interstitial abnormalities in early RA: Results from a multicenter, prospective cohort study - ACR Meeting Abstracts
Background/Purpose: Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) methods using machine learning have been developed to automatically quantify parenchymal lung features on chest CT imaging. QCT can detect su...

We also performed validation of proposed ILD screening strategies in early RA and displayed good performance using simple clinical factors such as age, sex, disease activity, and RF/CCP.
