Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common and potentially fatal complication of systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs), such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic sclerosis (SSc). ILD may be the first sign of disease or develop later, often with variable clinical courses. Early detection is critical, as delayed diagnosis contributes to poor outcomes. In response, the 2023 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) guidelines emphasize routine screening and risk-based strategies to improve identification and management of SARD-associated ILD (SARD-ILD).
