- Rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) is a common and serious complication.
- There is no established agreement on screening, diagnosis, or treatment for RA-ILD due to limited high-quality studies.
- A multidisciplinary expert group developed consensus statements to guide clinicians.
- The statements focus on risk factors, screening for ILD in rheumatoid arthritis patients, and treatment of RA-ILD.
- The goal is to facilitate timely diagnosis, monitor disease progression, and initiate treatment appropriately.
