The Risk of RAILD in RA Patients

The risk of RAILD is about 15% or one in six RA patients according to good population based data from Olmsted County and the Mayo Clinic. Smoking, disease activity is a big predictor, steroid use, obesity, and also what he published on the MUT5 promoter gene variant that increases the risk almost threefold or more. And lastly, I can't end without talking about this subject with his endorsement of the issue that Methatrexate Numenitis has nothing to do with RAILD and hence MethatreXate does not increase the odds of developing RAILD.
