The potential of semi-quantitative and quantitative methods in predicting progression in rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease
In this study of early-stage RA-ILD patients, only the usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern on baseline HRCT independently predicted disease progression. Neither semi-quantitative scores nor quantitative CT parameters were predictive of progression. However, quantitative CT metrics demonstrated strong correlations with traditional scoring systems, supporting their utility in objectively assessing disease extent.
