Abstract
Treatment with immunosuppressants was associated with a longer survival, and complicating AE is a predictor of shortened survival in SSc-ILD patients. Among the clinical parameters determined by non-invasive examinations, a CT-UIP pattern and the extent of fibrotic lesions on HRCT, but not a histological pattern of UIP, may be predictors of shortened survival.
