Background Lung disease in CTDs cause morbidity & mortality Patterns of ILD (but not prevalence) mirrors those seen in the IIPs Lung injury in CTDs not restricted to ILDs - Airways disease (follicular bronchiolitis, OB ) - Iatrogenic / Opportunistic infections
Initial Considerations RhA, SLE, SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS, PM/DM, SJÖGREN S SYNDROME, MCTD UIP, NSIP, LIP, Diffuse Alveolar Damage, Organising Pneumonia, Constrictive OB, Follicular Bronchiolitis, Pulmonary Hypertension One associated with many (at the same time) and many associated with one Non-specific clinical features Cough / Dyspnoea Pulmonary Function Tests Blunt reflection of variable disease process(es) is different lung units Difficult to perform for some Wide range of normality
Patterns of CTD-related Lung Involvement RhA (UIP) RhA (bronchiectasis) RhA (nodules) PMDM (OP) SSc (NSIP) SLE (Pulm haemorrhage)
Areas to Consider Radiological/pathological patterns - Classification/prevalence of CTD-ILDs - Mixed CT / pathological patterns - ILD / IIPs without overt CTD The problem of limited (subclinical) disease - What does it mean? - Staging severity & predicting progressive disease Prognostication - CTD-UIP / CTD-non-UIP versus IIP - Survival related to disease patterns - Importance of specific CT patterns (e.g. honeycombing, TBx)

Lung Disease in CTDs Different (& mixed) patterns of lung disease contribute to morbidity /mortality in CTDs - UIP (RhA) and NSIP (other CTDs) are common - ILD without defined CTD (?IPAF) now recognised Early / limited disease not uncommon - Identification of progressive disease - Screening? Variable outcome dependent on histopathological / CT appearance - UIP>NSIP/others - Independent impact of individual CT features
