Pulmonary function tests as outcomes for systemic sclerosis interstitial lung disease
European Respiratory Review, 2018 Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc). We performed a systematic review to characterise the use and validation of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) as surrogate markers for systemic ...
