Trends in mortality in patients with systemic sclerosis over 40 years: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies

TL;DR: The results confirm that SSc is a devastating condition as reflected by a pooled SMR of 3.5 and that SMR has not significantly changed over the past 40 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

High N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels and low diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide as independent predictors of the occurrence of precapillary pulmonary arterial hypertension in patients with systemic sclerosis.

TL;DR: An increased NT-proBNP level together with a decreased DLCO/VA ratio of <70% was highly predictive of the occurrence of PAH during followup, and use of these markers should result in improved PAH risk stratification and allow earlier initiation of therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide scan identifies TNIP1, PSORS1C1, and RHOB as novel risk loci for systemic sclerosis.

TL;DR: The genetic signal of association with TNIP1 variants, together with tissular and cellular investigations, suggests that this pathway has a critical role in regulating autoimmunity and SSc pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiac Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis Assessed by Tissue-Doppler Echocardiography During Routine Care A Controlled Study of 100 Consecutive Patients

TL;DR: Depression of LV and RV systolic and LV diastolic function is common in patients with SSc and is due to primary myocardial involvement, Considering the major contributions of TDI, the addition of this simple technique to standard measurements may improve the detection of heart involvement in patientswith SSc.
