Primary

|---|---|
| Presence of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) changes on HRCT are indicative of preclinical interstitial lung disease and will be determined at baseline. Putative parameters of early lung disease that will be investigated include lung function, exercise tests, blood based biomarkers, MUC5B rs35705950 genotype, physical examination for digital clubbing and crackles, and self-reported cough and dyspnoea. The primary endpoint is the difference in these parameters between the group with ILD changes on HRCT as compared to the group without ILD changes on HRCT. | — |
