HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between incident RA-ILD and the Disease Activity Score based on 28 tender and swollen joint count (DAS28), with a particular emphasize on its individual components, especially the systemic inflammation markers ESR and CRP.

Most of the studies described above aimed to investigate general risk factors for . . .
