Article Synopsis
- Rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) is a serious complication in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), often leading to poor outcomes, making the need for effective treatments essential.
- Plasma exchange (PE) may help by quickly removing harmful substances from the blood, and this study assesses its effectiveness when combined with immunosuppressants in improving survival rates and reducing inflammatory markers.
- Results showed an 80% survival rate at 6 months for patients undergoing PE, which was significantly better than for those not receiving PE, suggesting its potential as a beneficial treatment option for IIM-RP-ILD.
