Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the outcomes of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) who contracted COVID-19 across different waves of the pandemic, highlighting a lack of data for this specific group.
  • A total of 333 SSc patients were analyzed, revealing a reduction in severe outcomes, hospitalizations, and deaths from wave 1 to waves 2 and 3.
  • The findings suggest that younger demographics, lower use of high-dose corticosteroids, and possibly improved healthcare responses contributed to better outcomes for SSc patients as the pandemic progressed.

We currently lack a core set of measures to assess and follow damage in patients suffering from this condition. Our primary aim was to derive a disease-specific damage measuring tool for relapsing polychondritis, the Relapsing Polychondritis Damage Index (RPDAM).
