AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with a rheumatic or connective tissue disease who also have interstitial lung disease, confirmed by a high-resolution CT scan. It is a non-interventional study in Mexico.
- Age
- Over 18 years old.
- Sex
- Men and women can join.
- Disease stage
- Interstitial lung disease, diagnosed clinically and by a high-resolution CT scan with an interstitial pattern. It must come with rheumatoid arthritis, a connective tissue disease, spondyloarthritis or sarcoidosis.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Biopsy showing usual interstitial pneumonitis linked to a cause other than connective tissue disease
- Pneumonitis after chemotherapy or radiotherapy
- Medical records without a full diagnosis of interstitial lung disease

- Original description
This study aims to characterize the epidemiology of interstitial lung diseases (ILD) associated to connective tissue disease (CTD) in Mexico, and to study its correlation with the different comorbidities and treatments used, as well as the possible impacts of these factors on the outcome of progression, exacerbations, and mortality in patients with ILD associated to CTD.Read full original descriptionShow less
Ambispective, Non-Interventional Study to Evaluate the Epidemiology of Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs) Associated to Rheumatic Diseases (Rheumatoid Arthritis, Connective Tissue Diseases, Spondylarthritis and Sarcoidosis) and the Progression Risk Factors in the Mexican Population
This study aims to characterize the epidemiology of interstitial lung diseases (ILD) associated to connective tissue disease (CTD) in Mexico, and to study its correlation with the different comorbidities and treatments used, as well as the possible impacts of these factors on the outcome of progression, exacerbations, and mortality in patients with ILD associated to CTD.
