The Performance of Pulmonary Function Tests in Predicting Systemic Sclerosis—Interstitial Lung Disease in the European Scleroderma Trial and Research Database

Background and Objectives: In SSc, ILD is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. We aimed to investigate the performance of DLCO (diffusing capacity of lung carbon monoxide) and FVC (forced vital capacity) delta change (Δ) and baseline values in predicting the development of SSc-ILD. Methods: Lon...
