Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease, characterized by the presence of
generalized vasculopathy and tissue fibrosis. Collagen vascular disorder in SSc is due to …

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 …
