Background: Raynaud's phenomenon and the frequently ensuing digital ulcerations represent an early and very distressing symptom in patients with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma, SSc) causing significant limitations in the ability to work and quality of life. The use of vasoactive drugs (especially intravenous prostacyclin derivatives) is recommended to reduce the risk of hypoxic tissue damage up to the loss of fingers.
Methods: In order to obtain information about the current state of treatment of patients with prostacyclin derivatives in routine clinical life in Germany, a survey was conducted among the centers affiliated to the German Network for Systemic Scleroderma (DNSS).
