Gastro-oesophageal dismotility measurements in scleroderma-associated interstitial lung disease: Correlation with respiratory and reflux symptoms

Conclusions: We confirm an association between oesophageal dysmotility and respiratory symptoms in SSc-ILD. Larger numbers of patients followed up over time will need to be recruited to estimate the association between GORD measures and longitudinal changes in symptoms or severity of SSc-ILD.
