This study aimed to explore the course of lung function and RA disease activity in patients with RA-ILD, as well as predictive factors for deteriorating lung function. The study found that most patients with RA-ILD experienced stable or slowly declining lung function, but 5% of patients had a rapid deterioration, especially older adults with early RA.
Objectives To explore the course of lung function and RA disease activity and predictive factors for deteriorating lung function in patients with RA-interstitial lung disease (ILD). Methods The Korean Rheumatoid Arthritis-Interstitial Lung Disease cohort is a multicentre, prospective observational cohort. Patients with RA-ILD were enrolled and followed up annually for 3 years for RA disease activity and ILD status assessment. Group-based modelling was used to cluster a similar predicted percentage of forced vital capacity (FVC%) patterns into trajectories. Results This study included 140 patients who underwent at least two pulmonary function tests. Four distinctive trajectories for predicted FVC% were 'improving' [n = 11 (7.9%)], 'stable' [n = 68 (38.4%)], 'slowly declining' [n = 54 (48.6%)] and 'rapidly declining' [n = 7 (5.0%)]. Most (77.7%) patients maintained or improved to low RA disease activity. The lung function trajectory was not comparable to the RA disease activity trajectory. Age >= 70 years [relative risk (RR) 10.8 (95% CI 1.30, 89.71)] and early RA diagnosed within the preceding 2 years [RR 10.1 (95% CI 1.22, 84.2)] were associated with increased risk for rapidly declining predicted FVC%. The risk for deterioration or mortality increased in patients with a simultaneous diagnosis of RA and ILD within 24 weeks [RR 9.18 (95% CI 2.05, 41.0)] and the extent of lung involvement [RR 3.28 (95% CI 1.12, 9.60)]. Conclusion Most patients with RA-ILD experienced stable or slowly declining lung function. In 5% of patients, predicted FVC% deteriorated rapidly, especially in older adults with early RA. The lung function trajectory was not comparable to the RA disease activity trajectory.
