SARD-ILD subtypes included antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS; n = 58), dermatomyositis (DM; n = 55), systemic sclerosis (SSc; n = 106), and Sjögren disease (SjD, n = 37).

Patients with ASyS and DM demonstrated significant functional improvement, with forced vital capacity (FVC) increasing from 71% to 81% in ASyS (+14.1% relative) and from 69% to 78% in DM (+13%). IPF FVC declined from 78% to 72% (-7.7%). Usual interstitial pneumonia pattern was universal in IPF but seen in < 20% of patients with SARD-ILD. ILD pattern did not significantly influence functional trajectory in patients with SARD-ILD; instead, diagnosis was the primary determinant (multivariable ANOVA <i>P</i> < 0.001).
