    Abstract

    Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is a persistent, inflammatory, systemic illness mainly affecting multiple joints. Rheumatoid arthritis affects 0.8% of people worldwide, ranging from 0.3% to 2.1%. Pulmonary involvement is also evident in rheumatoid arthritis, which includes pulmonary nodules, diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, exudative pleural disease, and interstitial lung disease. To assess the lung function of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, A spirometry test tracks a subject's breathing patterns by measuring the amount of air they inhale and expel over time. A study was proposed to estimate spirometry indices in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
