Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess interstitial lung involvement in Hungarian patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It employs a combination of laboratory markers, X-ray imaging, pulmonary function tests, and quality of life questionnaires to evaluate the presence and severity of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Additionally, the study plans to create a national register based on the collected data and conduct smaller cross-sectional studies focusing on imaging parameters.
