Therefore, we conducted a study to evaluate differences in the extent of ILD based on radiological findings between symptomatic\/asymptomatic patients, using an artificial intelligence (AI)-based quantification of pulmonary high-resolution computed tomography (AIpqHRCT). Within the study, 67 cross-sectional HRCT datasets and clinical data (including pulmonary function test) of consecutively patients (mean age: 57.1\u2009\u00b1\u200914.7 years, woman <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200945; 67.2%) with both, initial diagnosis of CTD, with systemic sclerosis being the most frequent (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200921, 31.3%), and ILD (all without immunosuppressive therapy), were analysed using AIqpHRCT. 25.4% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200917) of the patients with ILD at initial diagnosis of CTD had no pulmonary symptoms. Regarding the baseline characteristics (age, gender, disease), there were no significant difference between the symptomatic and asymptomatic group. The pulmonary function test (PFT) revealed the following mean values (%predicted) in the symptomatic and asymptomatic group, respectively: Forced vital capacity (FVC) 69.4\u2009\u00b1\u200917.4% versus 86.1\u2009\u00b1\u200915.8% (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001), and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) 49.7\u2009\u00b1\u200917.9% versus 60.0\u2009\u00b1\u200915.8% (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.043). AIqpHRCT data showed a significant higher amount of high attenuated volume (HAV) (14.8\u2009\u00b1\u200911.0% versus 8.9\u2009\u00b1\u20093.9%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.021) and reticulations (5.4\u2009\u00b1\u20098.7% versus 1.4\u2009\u00b1\u20091.5%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.035) in symptomatic patients. A quarter of patients with ILD at the time of initial CTD diagnosis had no pulmonary symptoms, showing DLCO were reduced in both groups. Also, AIqpHRCT demonstrated clinically relevant ILD in asymptomatic patients. These results underline the importance of an early risk adapted screening for ILD also in asymptomatic CTD patients, as ILD is associated with increased mortality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00296-025-05934-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,12]],"date-time":"2025-08-12T11:45:13Z","timestamp":1754999113000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["The association of symptoms, pulmonary function test and computed tomography in interstitial lung disease at the onset of connective tissue disease: an observational study with artificial intelligence analysis of high-resolution computed tomography"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"45","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2959-1126","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tobias","family":"Hoffmann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4048-3938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ulf","family":"Teichgr\u00e4ber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luis Benedict","family":"Br\u00fcheim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7888-9928","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bianca","family":"Lassen-Schmidt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3764-3697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diane","family":"Renz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tobias","family":"Weise","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0173-9830","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Kr\u00e4mer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2218-4096","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Oelzner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joachim","family":"B\u00f6ttcher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4414-2188","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Felix","family":"G\u00fcttler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3291-0610","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gunter","family":"Wolf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2709-6685","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander","family":"Pfeil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"5934_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1101448","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2022.1101448","volume":"9","author":"T Hoffmann","year":"2022","unstructured":"Hoffmann T, Oelzner P, Teichgr\u00e4ber U, Franz M, Ga\u00dfler N, Kroegel C, Wolf G, Pfeil A (2022) Diagnosing lung involvement in inflammatory rheumatic diseases-Where do we currently stand?
