Decreased IL-6 predicted RP-ILD of IIM patients. (a–c) NE (), AAT (), and MPO () did not differ significantly between patients in the RP-ILD and non-RP-ILD groups. (d) IL-6 () level was significantly lower in patients in the RP-ILD group. The results of the IL-6 assay ranged from 0.98 to 7.74 pg/mL (the second lowest was 1.31 pg/mL). (e) ROC analysis showed that the AUC values of IL-6 at 0.884 (95% CI 0.762–1.000, ).
