This literature review shows there is a knowledge gap on prevalence of ILD in IIM. The available data is largely retrospective and data on effect of early screening and initiation of therapy are lacking. There is a great need for prospective research on optimal ILD and cardiac screening strategies and effect on QoL and overall survival.

This results in the following research question: What is the optimal screening strategy for pulmonary, cardiac, and other (organ-related) comorbidities?
