Abstract

SCOPE AND PURPOSE: SSc is a complex, multi-organ disease that requires a comprehensive multidisciplinary guideline. This is a short summary of the guideline, which is available in full as supplementary material at Rheumatology Online. Each recommendation is graded for level of evidence (I-IV) and strength (A-D). ELIGIBILITY AND EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Patients are classified as having SSc based on current classification criteria (ACR/EULAR 2013 [1]). Other scleroderma spectrum diseases are not included in this document.
