Distribution of serum a BAFF, (b) SP-D, and (c) KL-6 levels in patients with CTD-ILD (n = 33), undifferentiated CTD-ILD (n = 16), CFIP (n = 19), and healthy control subjects (n = 26). Differences in each variable across groups were first analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by the Bonferroni test. BAFF: B cell–activating factor belonging to the tumour necrosis factor family; KL-6: Krebs von den Lungen-6; SP-D: surfactant protein D; CTD-ILD: interstitial lung disease associated with connective tissue disease; CFIP: chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease
