Connective Tissue Disease-associated Interstitial Lung Diseases (CTD-ILD) Epidemiology Non-interventional Study (NIS)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study aims to characterize the epidemiology of interstitial lung diseases (ILD) associated to connective tissue disease (CTD) in Mexico, and to study its correlation with the different comorbidities and treatments used, as well as the possible impacts of these factors on the outcome of progression, exacerbations, and mortality in patients with ILD associated to CTD.

| All participants All participants must be diagnosed with rheumatic disease (connective tissue disease (CTD)) and intestinal lung disease (ILD) and fulfil all inclusion and no exclusion criteria. Information about participants will be obtained from electronic and physical medical records for existing data collection (over the past ten years, from 2012 to 2022) and/or from medical consultations for newly collected data (for the next three years, from 2023 to 2026). The participants' observation time varies and can be over the whole study duration (from 2012 to 2023), over the past ten years only (existing data) or over the next three years (new data). |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Time to first exacerbation: time in months elapsed until the first exacerbation from the diagnosis [up to 13 years]
- Number of exacerbation per year (frequency of exacerbation) [up to 13 years]
- Percent of pulmonary fibrosis: grade of parenchymal involvement evidenced by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) [up to 13 years]
- Change in 6-minute walk tests (6-MWT) over time [up to 13 years]
- King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease Questionnaire (K-BILD) score change over time [up to 13 years]
- Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)-I score change over time [up to 13 years]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Possibility to have an exacerbation and/or progression in pulmonary fibrosis, sorted by rheumatic disease type (rheumatoid arthritis (RA), connective tissue disease (CTD), spondyloarthritis (SpA) and Sarcoidosis) [up to 13 years]
- Frequency of use of diagnostic tools (laboratory, cabinet) [up to 13 years]
- Progression of pulmonary fibrosis by treatment received identified by HRCT patterns, lung function, activity score and damage index [up to 13 years]
