A Medical Record-based Pilot Study on the Diffusing Capacity of the Lungs for Carbon Monoxide versus Nailfold Capillaroscopy as an Early Marker for Lung Involvement in Connective Tissue Disease-related Interstitial Lung Diseases

Background: Connective tissue disease (CTD)-related interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are one of the most common ILDs which affect relatively younger populations and can lead to extensive lung damage and fibrosis. Early detection and initiation of anti-inflammatory therapy can curtail the extent of...
