Immunosuppressive Drug Use in Limited Systemic Sclerosis: An International Survey
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Current guidelines recommend immunosuppressive treatment for diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis but are less clear on their use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) in the absence of internal organ complications. We conducted an international survey to understand current immunosuppressive drug prescribing patterns in lcSSc ...
