Key clinical point: Concomitant interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a significant factor associated with failure to achieve clinical remission and an increased risk for unfavorable clinical events in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Major finding: The presence of ILD was significantly associated with failure to achieve Disease Activity Score in 28 Joints remission (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.71; P = .002) and increased risk for death (aHR 3.24; P < .001), hospitalized infections (aHR 2.60; P < .001), major adverse cardiac events (aHR 3.40; P < .001), and lung cancer (aHR 16.0; P < .001).
Study details: This study analyzed the data of 1522 patients with RA (ILD group n = 287; non-ILD group n = 1235) from the observational IORRA cohort.
Disclosures: This study was supported by the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare of Japan and other sources. Some authors declared serving as consultants for or receiving research grants, research funding, or lecture, speaker, or consulting fees from various sources.
