Abstract EN
Our study compared the prevalence and characteristics of patients with connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD), undifferentiated connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (UCTD-ILD), or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) between January 2009 and December 2012 in West China Hospital, western China.
Patients who met the criteria for ILD were included and were assigned to CTD-ILD, UCTD-ILD, or IPF group when they met the criteria for CTD, UCTD, or IPF, respectively.
Clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, and high-resolution CT images were analyzed and compared among three groups.
203 patients were included, and all were Han nationality.
CTD-ILD was identified in 31%, UCTD-ILD in 32%, and IPF in 37%.
Gender and age differed among groups.
Pulmonary symptoms were more common in IPF, while extrapulmonary symptoms were more common in CTD-ILD and UCTD-ILD group.
Patients with CTD-ILD had more abnormal antibody tests than those of UCTD-ILD and IPF.
Little significance was seen in HRCT images among three groups.
A systematic evaluation of symptoms and serologic tests in patients with ILD can identify CTD-ILD, UCTD-ILD, and IPF.
