Association of Short-Term Longitudinal Changes in Clinical and Physiologic Variables with Overall Survival in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD)
Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with SSc. However, the impact of changes in…Abstract Number: 1749 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Long-Term Renal Outcome in Pulmonary-Limited Microscopic Polyangiitis
Background/Purpose: Patients with pulmonary-renal or renal-limited microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) frequently manifested with rapidly progressive glomerular nephritis resulting in chronic renal failure if clinical response to…Abstract Number: 1877 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Specific Pneumoproteins Predict Progression of Interstitial Lung Disease in Systemic Sclerosis Patients Undergoing Treatment with Immunosuppression
Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the leading cause of death in systemic sclerosis (SSc). While some SSc-ILD patients are stable or improve with immunosuppressive…Abstract Number: 2015 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association of Anti-Ro52 Autoantibodies with Interstitial Lung Disease and More Severe Disease Manifestations in Juvenile Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies
Background/Purpose: Myositis specific autoantibodies (MSA) and myositis associated autoantibodies (MAA) found in adult and juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (JIIM) often confer a specific disease phenotype.…Abstract Number: 749 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Treatment with Cyclophosphamide for Systemic Sclerosis-Interstitial Lung Disease Does Not Lead to a Sustained Improvement in Lung Function in Two Independent Cohorts
Background/Purpose: Compared with placebo, treatment with cyclophosphamide (CYC) improved lung function in patients with systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) after 1 year in Scleroderma…Abstract Number: 2675 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Lung Transplant Trends in Patients’ with Systemic Sclerosis Using UNOS (United Network Organ Sharing) Database from 2000-2014
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease once characterized by high mortality rates now with better outcomes. Pulmonary disease has overtaken renal failure…Abstract Number: 861 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
