    Abstract Objective: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the leading cause of death in adults with systemic sclerosis (SSc). The identification of biomarkers to predict progression of SSc-ILD is an important unmet need. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an elevated baseline absolute monocyte count (AMC) is associated with a decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) at 48 weeks among participants with SSc-ILD enrolled in the phase 3 focuSSced trial.
    Methods: We performed a post-hoc analysis of the focuSSced trial, a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of adults with diffuse cutaneous SSc for ≤ 60 months. Participants received subcutaneous tocilizumab 162 mg or placebo weekly for 48 weeks. We examined the relationship between baseline AMC and FVC at 48 weeks using a General Linear Model adjusted for potential confounders.
    Results: The 136 participants with SSc-ILD in focuSSced were included in this study. Among participants assigned to the placebo group, there was a statistically significant inverse association between baseline AMC and change in FVC from baseline at week 48 in both unadjusted (β coefficient -0.539, 95 % CI -1.032 to -0.047, p-value=0.032) and multivariable-adjusted (β coefficient -0.573, 95 % CI -1.086 to -0.060, p-value=0.029) models. Among participants with SSc-ILD assigned to the tocilizumab group, there was no statistically significant association between baseline AMC and change in FVC from baseline at week 48 in unadjusted or fully adjusted models.
    Conclusion: AMC may be a biomarker of disease progression in SSc-ILD, especially in those with early SSc with elevated circulating inflammatory markers. These results should be validated in other SSc-ILD cohorts.

    Abstract Objectives: To assess the ability of two risk prediction models in interstitial lung disease (ILD) to predict death or lung transplantation in a cohort of patients with interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF).
    Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of adults with IPAF at an academic medical center. The primary outcome was a composite of lung transplantation or death. We applied the patient data to the previously described GAP and ILD-GAP models to determine the ability of these models to predict the composite outcome. Model discrimination was assessed using the c-index, and model calibration was determined by comparing the incidence ratios of observed versus expected deaths.
    Results: Ninety-four patients with IPAF were included. Mean (standard deviation) age was 58 (13.5) years and the majority were female (62%). The majority met serologic and morphologic criteria for IPAF (94% and 91%, respectively). The GAP model had a c-index of 0.664 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.547-0.781), while the ILD-GAP model had a c-index of 0.569 (95% CI 0.440-0.697). In those with GAP stage 1 or GAP stage 2 disease, calibration of the GAP model was satisfactory at 2 and 3 years for the cumulative end point of lung transplantation or death.
    Conclusion: In patients with IPAF, the GAP model performed well as a predictor of lung transplantation or death at 2 years and 3 years from ILD diagnosis in patients with GAP stage 1 and GAP stage 2 disease.

    Abstract Objective: Cold-induced transient myocardial ischemia has been described in patients with systemic sclerosis. The clinical impact of cold exposure in systemic sclerosis patients with acute cardiac conditions is unknown. We compared the seasonal variation of acute cardiac hospitalizations in patients with and without systemic sclerosis.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study using the National Inpatient Sample from 2016 to 2019. The primary outcome was acute cardiac hospitalization primarily due to heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, or cardiac arrhythmias. We compared the proportion of acute cardiac hospitalizations in each season in patients with and without systemic sclerosis. We also performed a subgroup analysis by US geographic region (Northeast, Midwest, South, West).
    Results: There were a total of 10,118,002 acute cardiac hospitalizations over the 4-year study period. Compared to those without systemic sclerosis, patients with systemic sclerosis who were hospitalized for acute cardiac care were younger (mean age 67 ± 13 vs 70 ± 14 years, p < 0.01), a greater proportion were female (82% vs 45%, p < 0.01), and a smaller proportion were Caucasian (68% vs 71%, p < 0.01). There was a lesser proportion of traditional cardiovascular risk factors in systemic sclerosis compared to non-systemic sclerosis patients. There was no significant difference in the proportion of winter admissions between systemic sclerosis and non-systemic sclerosis patients for total acute cardiac hospitalizations (26.4% vs 25.9%, p = 0.51), heart failure (27.0% vs 26.5%, p = 0.64), acute myocardial infarction (26.9% vs 25.5%, p = 0.50), or arrhythmias (24.3% vs 25.0%, p = 0.68). The results were consistent across all four US geographic regions.
    Conclusion: Our study did not support that patients with systemic sclerosis had a disproportionally higher risk of acute cardiac hospitalization in winter compared to the general population. We found that systemic sclerosis patients hospitalized for acute cardiac care had a lower burden of traditional cardiovascular risk factors than their non-systemic sclerosis counterparts.

    Abstract Connective tissue diseases (CTDs) can be associated with various forms of pulmonary hypertension, including pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, pulmonary venous hypertension, interstitial lung disease-associated pulmonary hypertension, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, and sometimes a combination of several processes. The prevalence of PAH varies among the different CTDs, with systemic sclerosis (SSc) having the highest at 8%-12%. The most recent European Society of Cardiology/European Respiratory Society guidelines recommend routine annual screening for PAH in SSc and CTDs with SSc features. As CTDs can be associated with a myriad of presentations of pulmonary hypertension, a thorough evaluation to include a right heart catheterization to clearly delineate the hemodynamic profile is essential in developing an appropriate treatment plan. Treatment strategies will depend on the predominant phenotype of pulmonary vasculopathy. In general, management approach to CTD-PAH mirrors that of idiopathic PAH. Despite this, outcomes of CTD-PAH are inferior to those of idiopathic PAH, with those of SSc-PAH being particularly poor. Reasons for this may include extrapulmonary manifestations of CTDs, including renal disease and gastrointestinal involvement, concurrent interstitial lung disease, and differences in the innate response of the right ventricle to increased pulmonary vascular resistance. Early referral for lung transplant evaluation of patients with CTD-PAH, particularly SSc-PAH, is recommended. It is hoped that in the near future, additional therapies may be added to the armamentarium of effective treatments for CTD-PAH. Ultimately, a better understanding of the pathogenesis of CTD-PAH will be required to develop targeted therapies for this morbid condition.

    Abstract Rheumatologic diseases are characterised by loss of immune tolerance, resulting in systemic inflammation. Inflammation and scarring of the endocardium, which lines the inner surface of the heart chambers and valves, can result in valvular thickening and dysfunction. Estimates of prevalence vary depending on the sensitivity of the screening methodology used and range from 30%-50% in systemic lupus and rheumatoid arthritis to 10%-30% in ankylosing spondylitis. Progression of valve disease is a slow process but can result in haemodynamically significant complications. Thromboembolic complications such as cerebrovascular occlusions pose a serious risk of morbidity. The presence of antiphospholipid antibodies increases the risk of valvular disease and thrombotic complications. Anticoagulation is recommended in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, but the guidance on the role of immunosuppressive therapy to treat valvular disease is lacking. Surgical valve therapy may be considered in severe disease, but there is increased risk in patients with an autoimmune disease which includes a higher risk of infection, thromboembolic and bleeding complications, as well as cardiovascular events in the setting of premature atherosclerotic heart disease. Therefore, management should be provided in a multidisciplinary team that includes a rheumatologist, a cardiologist and a cardiothoracic surgeon; medical therapy should be optimised before considering a high-risk valve surgery.

    Abstract Systemic sclerosis (SSc), also referred to as scleroderma, is a rare autoimmune disease associated with vasculopathy, inflammation, and fibrosis of the skin and/or internal organs. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a frequent complication and is the leading cause of death in patients with SSc. Although economic data are limited, available data suggest that SSc-ILD is associated with significant cost implications. Treatment of SSc-ILD has historically been with immunosuppressive agents. In 2019, however, the treatment landscape expanded with the FDA approval of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor nintedanib. A lack of codified treatment guidelines for patients with SSc-ILD creates significant challenges in improving outcomes at the patient level and, more generally, in reducing disease burden to the health care system. As the treatment landscape continues to evolve, it is likely that to reduce lung volume loss in patients, a combination of immunosuppressive and antifibrotic approaches will need to be used. Additionally, a greater emphasis on risk-stratification strategies may allow for more efficient follow-up, monitoring, and assessment of treatment response.

    Abstract In this article, we describe the role of radiology for diagnosis and follow-up of progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD). Patients with PF-ILD are at increased risk for early death without treatment. Clinical diagnosis of PF-ILD has been described in the literature. This manuscript reviews the radiographic diagnosis of PF-ILD and the unique CT characteristics associated with specific types of fibrosis. Ultimately, we believe that radiology has the potential to recognize progression early and thus make an important contribution to the multidisciplinary discussion for this important diagnosis.

    Abstract Background: Many types of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) may transition to progressive chronic-fibrosing ILDs with rapid lung function decline and a negative survival prognosis. In real-world clinical settings, forced vital capacity (FVC) measures demonstrating progressive decline may be linked to negative outcomes, including increased risks of costly healthcare resource utilization (HRU). Thus, we assessed the relationship between rate of decline in lung function and an increase in HRU, specifically inpatient hospitalization, among patients with chronic fibrosing ILD.
    Methods: This study utilized electronic health records from 01-Oct-2015 to 31-Oct-2019. Eligible patients (≥ 18 years old) had ≥ 2 fibrosing ILD diagnosis codes, clinical activity for ≥ 15 months, and ≥ 2 FVC tests occurring 6 months apart. Patients with missing demographic data, IPF, or use of nintedanib or pirfenidone were excluded. Two groups were defined by relative change in percent of predicted FVC (FVC% pred) from baseline to 6 months: significant decline (≥ 10%) vs. marginal decline/stable FVC (decrease < 10% or increase). The primary outcome was defined as the occurrence of an inpatient hospitalization 6 months after the first FVC value. Descriptive and multivariable analysis was conducted to examine the impact of FVC decline on occurrence of inpatient hospitalization.
    Results: The sample included 566 patients: 13% (n = 75) with significant decline and 87% (n = 491) with marginal decline/stable FVC; their mean age (SD) was 65 (13.7) years and 56% were female. Autoimmune diagnoses were observed among 40% of patients with significant decline, and 27% with marginal decline/stable FVC. The significant decline group had better lung function at baseline than the marginal/stable group. For patients with FVC% <80% at baseline, reduction of FVC% ≥10% was associated with significantly increased odds of an inpatient hospitalization (odds ratio [OR] 2.85; confidence interval [CI] 1.17, 6.94 [p = 0.021]).
    Conclusion: Decline in FVC% ≥10% was associated with increased odds of inpatient hospitalization among patients with reduced lung function at baseline. These findings support the importance of preserving lung function among patients with fibrosing ILD.

    Abstract Objectives: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a leading cause of death in patients with SSc. The purpose of this study was to determine the prognostic significance of pericardial effusion in patients with SSc-PH.
    Methods: Pulmonary Hypertension Assessment and Recognition of Outcomes in Scleroderma (PHAROS) is a prospective multicentre registry which enrolled patients with newly diagnosed SSc-PH from 2005 to 2016. The prognostic impact of pericardial effusion status, including those who ever or never had pericardial effusion, and those who had persistent or intermittent pericardial effusion, was analysed. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses, log-rank test, and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression were performed.
    Results: Of the 335 patients with SSc-PH diagnosed by right heart catheterization and documentation of pericardial effusion presence or absence on echocardiogram, 166 (50%) ever had pericardial effusion. Ever having pericardial effusion was not predictive of survival (log-rank test P = 0.49). Of the 245 SSc-PH patients who had at least two echocardiograms, 44% had a change in pericardial effusion status over an average of 4.3 years of follow up. Having a persistent pericardial effusion was an independent predictor of survival [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR)=2.34, 95% CI 1.20, 4.64, P = 0.002], while intermittent pericardial effusion was not a predictor of survival (aHR = 0.89, 95% CI 0.52, 1.56, P = 0.68), in a multivariable-adjusted analysis.
    Conclusion: Persistent pericardial effusion, but not ever having had pericardial effusion or intermittent pericardial effusion, was independently associated with poorer survival. Incorporating information from serial echocardiograms may help clinicians better prognosticate survival in their SSc-PH patients.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a heterogeneous disease with a variable disease course. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with SSc. The present review highlights recent advances in the classification, diagnosis, and early detection of SSc-associated ILD (SSc-ILD).
    Recent findings: Risk stratification through measurement of disease extent on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest, longitudinal declines in pulmonary function tests (PFTs), and mortality prediction models have formed the basis for classifying clinically significant ILD. HRCT may be preferred over PFTs for screening, as PFTs lack sensitivity and have a high false-negative rate. Novel imaging modalities and biomarkers hold promise as adjunct methods for assessing the presence and severity of SSc-ILD, and predicting risk for progressive disease. Further validation is required prior to their use in clinical settings.
    Summary: Classification of SSc-ILD has shifted to a personalized approach that considers an individual patient's probability of progressive disease through identification of risk factors, measurement of disease extent on HRCT, longitudinal declines in PFTs, and mortality prediction models. There remains an unmet need to develop screening guidelines for SSc-ILD.
