Overview

Narrative review demonstrates urgent need for screening strategies in rheumatoid arthritis-associated lung disease, suggesting improved outcomes could follow.

Key Points

  • Early screening for interstitial lung disease reduces mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and high-risk profiles.
  • Up to 15% of rheumatoid arthritis patients develop clinically significant interstitial lung disease, necessitating better screening.
  • Narrative review of evidence highlights chest high-resolution computed tomography as valuable in detecting disease patterns.
  • Implementation of effective screening strategies may enhance patient management and awareness of associated comorbidities.
