Objective: To investigate the profile and clinical significance of myositis-specific antibody spectrum (MSAs) in patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis-associated interstitial lung disease (PM/DM-ILD). Methods: Sera from 74 patients with PM/DM-ILD, 29 patients with SLE and 32 healthy controls
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the predictive factors and the unfavourable prognostic factors of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with polymyositis (PM)/dermatomyositis (DM).
