Background Given the phenotypic similarities between rheumatoid arthritis (RA)–associated
interstitial lung disease (ILD)(hereafter, RA-ILD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, we …

Subclinical and clinical ILD occur frequently in preclinical, early, and established RA and
may play a key role in RA-related autoantibody production and disease progression. Further …

The phenotypical, environmental, and genetic similarities between IPF and RA-ILD have led
to a better understanding of the underlying pathogenesis of RA-ILD. Despite the …

Objective To evaluate rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity and risk of RA‐associated
interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD). Methods We investigated disease activity and risk of RA …

Lung fibrosis is increasingly detected with aging and has been associated with poor
outcomes in acute lung injury or infection. However, the molecular programs driving this pro …

Lung disease is common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The onset of lung
involvement in RA is not well known. The objective is to describe the features and evolution …

Objectives The clinical heterogeneity of the progression of rheumatoid arthritis-associated
interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) is high, and there is a lack of consensus on the clinical …

Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been postulated to contribute to idiopathic
pulmonary fibrosis by promoting alveolar epithelial injury via tractional forces and …

Background Increased protein citrullination and peptidylarginine deiminases (PADIs), which
catalyze the citrullination process, are central in Rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis and …

The ability to identify risk factors for preclinical RA-ILD has been enhanced, but the proper
management strategy for these patients is yet to be defined. ACPAs and cigarette smoking …
