Characteristics and disease course of untreated patients with interstitial lung disease associated with systemic sclerosis in a real-life two-centre cohort by Oliver Distler, Cosimo Bruni, Anna-Maria Hoffmann-Vold, Suzana Jordan, Carina Mihai, Muriel Elhai, Marouane Boubaya, Rucsandra Dobrota, Øyvind Midtvedt, Mike Becker, Alexandru Garaiman, Håvard Fretheim, Imon Barua, Moritz Scheidegger, Hilde Jenssen Bjørkekjær

“…Among 234 untreated patients, the 3 year cumulative incidence of progression was 39.9% (32.9–46.2). Diffuse cutaneous SSc and extensive lung fibrosis independently predicted ILD progression in untreated patients.Conclusion As about 40% of untreated patients show ILD progression after 3 years and effective and safe therapies for SSc-ILD are available, our results support a change in clinical practice in selecting patients for treatment.…”
