The overall goal of this study is to identify risk and prognosis factors of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
This is not an interventional study. This is a study designed to recruit individuals affected by RA and investigate associated ILD to better understand the clinical phenotypes and genetic/molecular endotypes of RAILD, including the prognosis of the disease.
