Clinical features, radiological findings and prognosis of microscopic polyangiitis with interstitial lung disease: a retrospective matched control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between interstitial lung disease (ILD) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) has received increasing attention in recent years. However, there are still no studies comparing clinical characteristics and prognoses between MPA-ILD patients and patients with ANCA-negative ILDs. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyse a group of patients presenting MPA-ILD matched with patients exhibiting ANCA-negative ILDs to identify differences in their clinical characteristics and survival.

Methods

This study retrospectively reviewed the data of 60 patients with MPA-ILD and 60 patients with ANCA-negative ILDs who were matched for age, sex, and patterns on chest high-resolution CT (HRCT) images. The baseline clinical information, laboratory parameters and
