Objectives. To assess prevalence, characteristics, and long-term outcome of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM). To determine predictive variables of ILD course in PM/DM, and to define both clinical and biochemical features associated with ILD onset in PM/DM.Methods. The medical records of 156 consecutive PM/DM patients in 3 medical centers were reviewed.Results. Thirty-six PM/DM patients (23.1%) developed ILD. We observed that 19.4% of patients with ILD had resolution of pulmonary disorders, whereas 25% experienced ILD deterioration. Morbidity and mortality rates were as high as 13.9% and 36.4%, respectively, in PM/DM patients with ILD. Parameters of PM/DM that related to ILD poor outcome were identified as follows: Hamman-Rich-like pattern, initial diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide
