Pre-treatment ferritin level and alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient can predict mortality rate due to acute/subacute interstitial pneumonia in dermatomyositis treated by cyclosporine a/glucocorticosteroid combination therapy: a case control study [corrected].

Pre-treatment ferritin level and alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient can predict mortality rate due to acute/subacute interstitial pneumonia in dermatomyositis treated by cyclosporine a/glucocorticosteroid combination therapy: a case control study [corrected].

<h4>Background</h4>Acute/subacute interstitial pneumonia in dermatomyositis (DM-A/SIP) is a disease associated with a poor prognosis that resists treatment with glucocorticosteroids (GC) and progresses rapidly in a period of weeks to months to death. We retrospectively studied outcomes,...
