Risk prediction model for relapse of anti-synthetase syndrome-associated interstitial lung disease in Japanese multicentre MYKO cohort study

Rheumatology (Oxford)Published Multicentre cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Our multicentre cohort study showed that the RPM model using the presence of acute/subacute ILD and %FVC values was a useful tool for stratifying risk of ASyS-ILD relapse.

Study context

Population
Patients with ASyS-ILD treated with prednisolone and calcineurin inhibitors as remission induction therapy, Japanese multicentre MYKO cohortof 487 with IIM, 1991–2024
