Interstitial lung disease (ILD) and precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc). However, whether PH is more frequent in SSc in the presence of ILD, and whether it confers an increased risk of death remains incompletely understood.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
