- Abstract
Objective. There is still a great deal to learn about the influence of sex in systemic sclerosis (SSc). In this respect, national registries provide large and homogeneous patient cohorts for analytical studies. We therefore investigated a wide-ranging and well-characterized SSc series with the aim of identifying sex differences in disease expression, with a special focus on demographic, clinical, and serological characteristics.Methods. A multicenter SSc cohort of 2281 patients, including 247 men, was recruited in the Italian Systemic sclerosis PRogression INvestiGation (SPRING) registry. Demographic data, disease manifestations, serological profile, and internal organ involvement were compared.Results. The overall female/male ratio was 8.2:1. Female/male ratios for limited cutaneous SSc, diffuse cutaneous SSc, and SSc sine scleroderma subsets were 8.7:1, 4.9:1, and 10.7:1, respectively. A shorter time from onset of Raynaud phenomenon to SSc diagnosis, an increased prevalence of the diffuse cutaneous subset, renal crisis, and digital ulcers were found in males, whereas a significantly higher percentage of sicca syndrome, serum antinuclear antibodies, antiextractable nuclear antigens, anti-La/SSB, and anticentromere protein B was detected in the female group. Males exhibited lower left ventricular ejection fraction, as well as higher prevalence of conduction blocks, arrhythmias, ground glass, and honeycombing. Moreover, forced vital capacity and total lung capacity were medially lower in men than in women. Finally, males were more frequently treated with immunosuppressive drugs.Conclusion. Our study further supports the presence of several sex-related differences in patients with SSc. These differences were pronounced in the severity of cutaneous, peripheral vascular, and cardiopulmonary involvement for male patients, whereas an increased prevalence of sicca syndrome and a specific autoantibody profile characterized the female sex.

Objectives The objectives of this study were (1) to explore US findings for muscle mass, muscle quality and muscle stiffness in SLE patients and healthy subjects; (2) to investigate the relationship between the US muscle findings and physical performance in SLE patients and healthy subjects. Methods Quadriceps muscle thickness was used for assessment of muscle mass, muscle echogenicity (using a visual semi-quantitative scale and grayscale analysis with histograms) for assessment of muscle quality, and point shear-wave elastography (SWE) for assessment of muscle stiffness in 30 SLE patients (without previous/current myositis or neuromuscular disorders) and 15 age-, sex- and BMI-matched healthy subjects. Hand grip strength tests and short physical performance battery (SPPB) tests were carried out in the same populations. Results No difference was observed between SLE patients and healthy subjects for quadriceps muscle thickness (35.2 mm ± s.d. 6.8 vs 34.8 mm ± s.d. 6.0, respectively, P = 0.79). Conversely, muscle echogenicity was significantly increased in SLE patients (visual semi-quantitative scale: 1.7 ± s.d. 1.0 vs 0.3 ± s.d. 0.5, respectively, P < 0.01; grayscale analysis with histograms: 87.4 mean pixels ± s.d. 18.8 vs 70.1 mean pixels ± s.d. 14.0, respectively, P < 0.01). Similarly, SWE was significantly lower in SLE patients compared with healthy subjects {1.5 m/s [interquartile range (IQR) 0.3] vs 1.6 m/s (IQR 0.2), respectively, P = 0.01}. Muscle echogenicity was inversely correlated with grip strength (visual semi-quantitative scale, Rho : –0.47, P = 0.01; grayscale analysis with histograms, Rho : –0.41, p < 0.01) and SPPB (visual semi-quantitative scale, Rho : –0.50, P < 0.01; grayscale analysis with histograms Rho : –0,46, P < 0.01). Conclusions US assessment of muscle echogenicity and stiffness is useful for the early detection of muscle involvement in SLE patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
