Risk factors for pleuropulmonary manifestations in rheumatoid arthritis: A pilot study
Öz
Background: The aim of study was to find out the pattern of pleuropulmonary manifestations and possible risk factors for the development of pulmonary manifestations in rheumatoid arthritis.
Methods: A total of 70 rheumatoid arthritis patients were recruited. Pulmonary evaluation was done including medical history, Chest x-ray, Pulmonary Function Test, High-Resolution Computerized Tomography of chest and Spirometry.
Results: Out of 70 patient’s pulmonary complications was seen in 38 patients out of whom 35 patients had abnormal PFT. Restrictive and obstructive pattern on PFT was seen in 22 and 9 patients respectively. Older age, duration of illness, pulse rate, respiratory rate and rheumatoid factor were found significantly associated with abnormal PFT in RA patients (p< 0.05). Duration of illness and rheumatoid factor were observed as independent risk factor for the development of abnormal PFT in RA patients.
Conclusion: Duration of illness and rheumatoid factor were identified as independent risk factor of lung disease.
