BackgroundInterstitial lung disease (ILD) affects >40% of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc/scleroderma) and is the leading cause of disease-related mortality. Although therapies may slow progression, outcomes remain poor, partly because ILD is often detected after irreversible lung injury has occurred. Although chest computed tomography (CT) is a sensitive tool for ILD detection and is recommended at SSc diagnosis, it is oftentimes not performed and even less often performed serially. We so...
