Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Define which patients with RA (or pre-RA) are at greatest risk for developing RA-related lung disease (LD).

    10 years

Study Arms (4)

Pre-RA

Subjects with interstitial lung disease (ILD) or airways disease, no rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and positive antibodies will participate in 5 in-person study visits. Additionally, quality of life questionnaires will be mailed/emailed and completed at home every 6 months, at 4 different time points. Overall participation will take place over a 4 year time frame and an additional 6 years of survival follow-up. In-person Study Assessments Include: 1. Medical History and Physical Exams 2. Quality of Life Questionnaires 3. Collection of blood 4. Radiology 5. Lung Function Test 6. 6 Minute Walk Test 7. Bronchoscopy (Clinically indicated) 8. Sputum (Optional) 9. Musculoskeletal ultrasound (Optional)

RA without LD

Subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and no interstitial lung disease (ILD) or airways disease, will participate in 5 in-person study visits. Additionally, quality of life questionnaires will be mailed/emailed and completed at home every 6 months, at 4 different time points. Overall participation will take place over a 4 year time frame and an additional 6 years of survival follow-up. In-person Study Assessments Include: 1. Medical History and Physical Exams 2.

LD Controls

Subjects with interstitial lung disease (ILD) or airways disease, no rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and negative antibodies will participate in 5 in-person study visits.
