Pulmonary involvement in newly diagnosed and untreated rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis: a prospective longitudinal study
Our study underscores the prevalence of significant, predominantly asymptomatic pulmonary involvement in newly diagnosed RA and PsA patients. The lack of correlation between pulmonary function, disease activity, and medication during disease progression suggests that reducing arthritic disease activity does not necessarily mitigate the risk or severity of pulmonary involvement. Finally, our finding underscore the need for more sensitive biomarkers and optimized monitoring strategies.
