Evolving Symptom Characteristics of Raynaud's Phenomenon in Systemic Sclerosis and Their Association With Physician and Patient‐Reported Assessments of Disease Severity

Abstract

Patients identify with distinct patterns of SSc-RP that may relate to progression of the obliterative microangiopathy of SSc. Difficulty distinguishing discrete SSc-RP attacks from persistent digital ischemia in patients with advanced SSc could influence diary-based approaches to assessing SSc-RP, with implications for future clinical trials.
