Lung Cysts in Primary SS: New Findings on an Allegedly Innocuous Iiagnosis
Background/Purpose: Lung cysts are a frequent finding in patients with SS, with previous data indicating a prevalence of approximately 30% on chest CT scans. In…Abstract Number: 0634 • ACR Convergence 2023
Prevalence and Associations of Anaemia in Systemic Sclerosis Patients in a National Observational Cohort; Results from the Australian Scleroderma Cohort Study
Background/Purpose: Anaemia in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is under-studied and under-characterised. Its prevalence amongst SSc patients is not well described, nor are its effects on outcomes…Abstract Number: 1699 • ACR Convergence 2023
Immunosuppression with Targeted Therapies Reduces Morbidity and Mortality in Pre-Capillary Pulmonary Hypertension Associated with Systemic Sclerosis: A EUSTAR Analysis
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) associated pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (precapPH) is a severe condition that requires prompt treatment. Although immunosuppressants (IMS) are standard of care for…Abstract Number: 2193 • ACR Convergence 2023
Anti-citrullinated Protein Antibodies in Sjögren’s Syndrome Define a Subset of Patients with Lower B Cell Activation Markers and Higher Risk of Lung Involvement
Background/Purpose: Extraglandular manifestations may occur in up to 40-50% of patients with SS, including inflammatory arthralgia and chronic polyarthritis (1-3). ACPA are prototypical markers of…Abstract Number: 0637 • ACR Convergence 2023
Comparison of Four Risk Stratification Models for Prediction of Mortality in Systemic Sclerosis-associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in the EUSTAR Cohort
Background/Purpose: The 2022 ESC/ERS Guidelines recommend comprehensive risk stratification at diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) to guide optimized management.1Several risk stratification tools have been…Abstract Number: 1701 • ACR Convergence 2023
Treatment Regimens and Mortality in Systemic Sclerosis-associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Light of the 2022 ESC/ERS Guidelines
