Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common and potentially lethal complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Screening by HRCT is recommended in all patients with risk factors, including early disease. Little is known on late presentations of ILD. This study aimed to characterize the incidence, risk factors and outcomes of late-onset SSc-ILD.
