PAH: pulmonary arterial hypertension; CTD-PAH: connective tissue disease-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension; ILD: interstitial lung disease. Bold type highlights variables included in the multivariate model (p<0.15 in the univariate analysis). #Intermediate versus high risk. CTD-PAH with ILD versus IPAH.
