"Myositis-associated interstitial lung disease refers to a group of interstitial lung diseases (ILD) that are associated with the presence of myositis-associated antibodies. This traditionally included dermatomyositis and polymyositis but can now include several other conditions (e.g. anti-Mi-2-positive interstitial lung disease)."

Line 1:321 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

Line 12:50 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.
Semicolons
suggestion

"Chest x-rays are often the initial investigation but are relatively insensitive to early disease; HRCT is the modality of choice for characterising pattern, distribution, and disease activity 5."

Line 31:100 · Use semicolons judiciously.
