Article Synopsis
- Limited research on oral health in systemic sclerosis prompts a scoping review to identify studies related to quality of life across five key domains: symptoms, functional impacts, psychosocial factors, patient-related variables, and self-care practices.
- From 1460 studies reviewed, only 91 were included, with most being conducted in Europe or North America and featuring small participant numbers, indicating a significant gap in comprehensive research.
- The majority of studies focus on oral manifestations and symptoms, with fewer addressing other crucial areas; further systematic reviews and larger studies are essential to improve understanding and care for systemic sclerosis patients.
Article Synopsis
- A study compared fatigue levels in a large group of people with systemic sclerosis (SSc) to typical fatigue levels in the general population, finding that SSc patients experienced significantly more fatigue.
- Participants included 2,385 individuals, with a majority being female and averaging around 55 years old, and it was noted that 18% reported mild fatigue, 27% moderate fatigue, and 8% severe fatigue.
- Factors such as age, gender, marital status, fatigue-related lifestyle choices (like smoking and BMI), and specific disease features (like gastrointestinal issues and joint problems) were all linked to higher fatigue scores in SSc patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined changes in work status, financial adequacy, and preferences for remote versus in-office work among individuals with systemic sclerosis during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Conducted with 298 participants, findings revealed that most people's work status and financial well-being remained stable from April 2020 to August 2022, with only a few changes in employment.
- Participants preferred flexible work arrangements, but most were required to work in a fixed, in-person setting, suggesting a need for more adaptable workplace policies to accommodate their conditions.

Background: Raynaud's phenomenon is the earliest and most common systemic sclerosis manifestation. Episodes can be triggered by cold exposure and ambient temperature changes. Small studies have found that Raynaud's phenomenon outcomes were associated with season.

Objective: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare, chronic autoimmune disorder associated with disability, diminished physical function, fatigue, pain, and mental health concerns. We assessed minimal detectable changes (MDCs) of the Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI), Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-29 Profile version 2.0 (PROMIS-29v2.
