Current UK practice in pulmonary screening in paediatric connective tissue disease: UK multi-centre audit and proposed standards
There are no universally recognized standards on pulmonary screening in juvenile CTDs, leading to inconsistency across centres and between practitioners. However, adoption of the proposed standards would likely improve recognition, monitoring and management of pulmonary manifestations, standardize practice, and inform and improve future guidance and research.
