AB0615 ELEVATED ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE IS ASSOCIATED WITH PULMONARY IMPAIRMENT AND POOR OUTCOME IN PATIENTS WITH DERMATOMYOSITIS

ILD is interesting to find prognostic factors. Initial CRP, reflecting IL-6 production, appears as an important prognostic factor for FVC evolution overtime. Conversely, SSc and autoantibodies subtypes were not prognostic factors for PFTs evolution in our study. ILD extension is associated with worse PFTs at baseline but is not associated with DLCO of FVC decline. References
