Long-Term Dysphagia Severity in Patients With Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

Objective To investigate long-term dysphagia severity and survival outcomes in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). Methods We retrospectively included consecutive Japanese patients with IIM between April 2000 and March 2022.
