Background: Chest computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for the evaluation of
systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a …

Objectives To establish a framework by which experts define disease subsets in systemic
sclerosis associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). Methods A conceptual framework for …

Rationale: Measuring disease extent and progression of systemic sclerosis–associated
interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is challenging, with recent studies suggesting potential …

Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc)–related interstitial lung disease (ILD) is one of the
leading causes of mortality. We undertook this study to analyze the gene expression of lung …

Background SSc-ILD and IPF demonstrate significant morbidity and mortality. Predicting
disease progression is challenging in both diseases. Objectives We sought a serum …

Systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is the leading cause of death in
SSc. In this study, we aimed to describe the baseline severity and evolution of forced vital …

Abstract Purpose of Review Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common manifestation of
systemic sclerosis (SSc). We explore the importance of early detection, monitoring, and …

PURPOSE: To evaluate computed tomographic (CT) patterns of lung disease in patients
with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and compare them with CT appearance in patients with biopsy …

Abstract Background Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare connective tissue disease with a
heterogeneous clinical course. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common manifestation of …

Objective Although interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality
in systemic sclerosis (SSc), its prognostication remains challenging. Given that CT …
