Systemic sclerosis (SSc) -related calcinosis can be a debilitating, constantly painful, poorly understood vascular complication of calcium hydroxyapatite deposition in soft tissue structures that affects approximately 40% of both limited and diffuse cutaneous SSc subtypes. This publication describes the iterative and multitiered international qualitative investigations that yielded remarkable insights into natural history, daily experience, and complications of SSc-calcinosis providing pivotal information for health management. Patient-driven question development and field testing, according to Food and Drug Administration guidance, propelled the development of a patient-reported outcome measure for SSc-calcinosis, the Mawdsley Calcinosis Questionnaire.
系统性硬化症(SSc)相关的钙质沉着症是一种使人虚弱、持续疼痛、对血管造成严重影响的疾病,其特征是钙羟磷灰石在软组织结构中沉积,大约影响 40%的局限性和弥漫性皮肤型 SSc 亚型。本出版物描述了迭代和多层次的国际定性研究,这些研究深入了解了 SSc 钙质沉着症的自然病史、日常体验和并发症,为健康管理提供了重要信息。根据美国食品和药物管理局的指导意见,患者驱动的问题开发和现场测试推动了 SSc 钙质沉着症患者报告结局测量工具——Mawdsley 钙质沉着症问卷的开发。
