Article Synopsis
- The study aims to compare disability and physical health factors in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) against those with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and healthy controls.
- Involved patients underwent various assessments, revealing SSc patients were generally younger and had less disease duration but faced more severe disability and pain related to joint involvement compared to other conditions.
- The findings highlight that SSc significantly impacts quality of life due to factors like joint and gastrointestinal involvement, a high skin score, and the presence of multiple tender points, indicating that SSc leads to greater impairment than PsA and more pain than RA.
