The Effect of Mycophenolate Mofetil on Pulmonary Function Tests in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis-associated Interstitial Lung Disease, and the Difference Between the African Americans versus Non-African Americans
Background/Purpose: Scleroderma-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is a pulmonary fibrosing disorder characterized by systemic inflammation and progressive scarring of the lungs that leads to respiratory…Abstract Number: 1082 • ACR Convergence 2020
The Presence of Anti-Jo1, anti-PL7, And/or anti-MDA5 Antibodies in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy Confers an Increased Risk of a Significant Restrictive Pulmonary Defect
Background/Purpose: A subset of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy develop significant restrictive lung disease, although risk factors for this are poorly defined. Autoantibodies may be…Abstract Number: 1431 • ACR Convergence 2020
Interstitial Lung Disease in Patients with ANCA Associated Vasculitis – a Prospective Single Centre Study
Background/Purpose: Recently, an association between anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) and interstitial lung disease (ILD) has been uncovered. We aimed to determine the rate…Abstract Number: 0995 • ACR Convergence 2020
Jo-1-Binding B Cells Undergo Limited Class-Switching but Are Biased Towards Autoreactive-Prone and Memory B Cell Subsets in Anti-histidyl-tRNA Synthetase Syndrome
Background/Purpose: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are systemic autoimmune diseases traditionally classified as dermatomyositis or polymyositis, but these disorders are increasingly defined by the presence of…Abstract Number: 1091 • ACR Convergence 2020
A Computer-Aided Diagnostic System for Quantitative Scoring of Extent of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) in Dermatomyositis/Polymyositis Associated ILD
Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) occurs in up to 80% of patients with dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM), and is a leading cause of morbidity…Abstract Number: 1446 • ACR Convergence 2020
Pregnancy Outcomes in Patients with Interstitial Lung Disease
Background/Purpose: Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) are often recommended to avoid conception or terminate pregnancy despite limited data on pregnancy outcomes and complications. Studies…Abstract Number: 1046 • ACR Convergence 2020
Risk Factors Associated with Interstitial Lung Disease in Patients with RA: Findings from a Retrospective Healthcare Database Analysis
Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a frequent complication of RA and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.1 Previous studies have shown variability in…Abstract Number: 1096 • ACR Convergence 2020
Assessing Interstitial Lung Disease in a Racially Diverse Population with Idiopathic Inflammatory Myositis
Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common extra-muscular manifestation of Idiopathic Inflammatory Myositis (IIM) and increases risk of mortality. Prior studies and registries have focused on either smaller cohorts or predominantly Caucasian/European populations. Our aim was to better characterize the…
