Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs frequently in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). We investigated whether the presence of GERD and/or the use of anti-acid therapy, specifically proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), are associated with long-term outcomes, especially in SSc-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD).
