Airways Abnormalities in a Prospective Cohort of Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
High rates of airways abnormalities were found in this prospective RA cohort based on three methods of detection. Significant associations were identified between quantitative CT scan measures and respiratory symptoms. Airways disease may be an underrecognized extra-articular manifestation of RA and quantitative CT imaging may be a sensitive method to detect the clinical impact on respiratory symptoms.
