Seven proteins were associated with ILA in the discovery cohort after false discovery rate adjustment, and all remained significant after adjusting for age, gender and smoking status. Six of the seven proteins were significantly associated in the validation cohort, including growth differentiation factor 15, surfactant protein D and surfactant protein B. In a multivariable model, six proteins combined with basic demographics in the discovery cohort had an area under the curve of 0.92 (0.88 in the validation cohort). Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator modelling identified three proteins and age as predictors, with an area under the curve of 0.89 in the validation cohort. When applied to the combined cohorts, this simple model would reduce the need for computed tomography imaging in one of every three relatives screened.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Peripheral blood proteins are associated with ILA in relatives of patients with pulmonary fibrosis and can be used to detect them.
