Study Description

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) accounts for a significant proportion of mortality and morbidity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this prospective longitudinal study is to asess the interstitial lung involvement in Hungarian rheumatoid arthritis patients. Laboratory markers, X-ray based imaging methods, pulmonological functional tests, QOL questionnaire and sleep quality assessement questionnaire are used to estimate the interstitial lung disease. Also smaller cross-sectional studies about the imaging parameters and a national register is planned to be created based on these data.
