Determinants of Body Mass Index in Early Systemic Sclerosis: Implications for Nutritional Risk Stratification

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement can lead to malnutrition in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Body mass index (BMI) remains the most widely used marker to screen nutritional status. We aimed to identify predictors of lower BMI in patients with SSc. Methods Patients with SSc from a prospective US cohort meeting 2013 American College of

Association of Elevated Platelets and C‐Reactive Protein With Severe Disease and Poor Survival in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Elevated C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels in systemic sclerosis (SSc) have been linked with severe disease and worse survival, but the role of platelet levels remains unclear. This study examined whether elevated platelet levels, CRP levels, or both are associated with disease severity, progression, and survival in SSc.

Long Noncoding RNA H19 Mediates STAT3‐Dependent Activation of Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts in Systemic Sclerosis Skin

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Dermal systemic sclerosis (SSc) fibroblasts and their exosomes can activate keratinocytes in SSc, with long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) H19 highlighted as the most up‐regulated RNA in their cargo compared with healthy controls (HCs). The role of H19 in SSc pathogenesis has never been investigated.
