Abstract

Objectives. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) profoundly affects the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). We tested the validity of the Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), a lung-specific HRQoL-evaluation tool, in a population of SSc patients with ILD. Methods. Twenty-eight consecutive SSc patients with a restrictive pulmonary involvement, defined as a forced vital capacity
