Objective: To determine the efficacy of immunesuppressive treatment over 1 year in early diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc). Methods: dcSSc patients with less than 3 years disease duration and at least one year of data enrolled in the CSRG database were included. Regression analyses for achieving at least minimal important differences (MID) for 5 outcomes over one year were done to determine baseline predictors of change and if immunesuppressive treatment yielded the attainment of the MID. Results: 124 patients (mean age 52.3 years;79.2% female) were included. Variables associated with MID at one year were often the baseline variable and for some outcomes, age, sex, smoking, restrictive lung disease and treatment type. Treatment with immunesuppressive was not found to be associated with achieving MIDs in multivariate analyses. Conclusion: Treatment was associated with achieving a MID change at 1 year using univariate statistics, but not in multivariate models. These observational data do not support improvement with immunesuppressives over one year but there could be confounding or biases comparing with those prescribed immunesuppressives vs. those who don’t.

Objective: Serum from SSc patients was analyzed centrally to determine ANA patterns and extractable nuclear antigens (ENAs) between lcSSc and dcSSc and associations with organ involvement. Methods: 1145 SSc patients had ANA and ENA analyzed by indirect immunofluorescence on HEp-2 substrate at a screening serum dilution of 1/160. Most ENA antibodies [Sm. U1-RNP, Ro52, SS-A/Ro60, topoisomeraseI (Topo1), SS-B/La, chromatin, ribosomal P and Jo1] were measured by laser bead immunoassay;and RNA polymerase III (RNAP) by ELISA. Results: ANA was positive in 95% (same in lcSSc, and dcSSc). Centromere pattern was present in 34%, speckled 22%, nucleolar 18%, homogeneous and speckled (H&S) 16%, multiple nuclear dots 6%. Anti-centromere Ab (ACA) occurred in 46% of lcSSc and 11% of dcSSc (P = 0.0001). ENAs that differed between lcSSc and dcSSc subsets were Topo1 (OR 2.4, P = 0.0001) and RNAP (OR 5.6, P 0.0001) more common in dcSSc. Overall, 15% had positive Topo1;usually with a H&S pattern (67%);Topo1 was associated with ILD on CXR (OR 2.3;95% CI 1.5 - 3.5) and HRCT (OR 3.8;95% CI 1.8 - 8.2). RNAP occurred in 18.5% (35.4% in dcSSc vs. 8.9% in lcSSc). Scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) was 13 times more likely if RNAP positive;P = 0.0001. ACA was only weakly associated with sPAP > 50 mmHg (OR 1.8;95%CI 1.1 - 3.0). Conclusion: ANA homogeneous pattern alone is rare in SSc;ACA was significantly more common in lcSSc. Many ENAs are equal in lcSSc and dcSSc except RNAP and Topo1. RNAP has the highest OR of SRC. Topo1 is less strongly associated with ILD. Abstract word count: 249, Body word count 1246, Figures 2, Tables 2. Key Messages: 1) 95% of SSc has a positive ANA and ANA patterns in SSc include centromere, nucleolar, and homogeneous and speckled together;2) Most ENAs are equal in both dcSSc and lcSSc except anti RNA polymerase III and topoisomerase I;3) RNA polymerase III has the highest association (odds ratio) with scleroderma renal crisis, topoisomerase I is associated with interstit

Introduction: Predictors of lung function decline in systemic sclerosis (SSc) are unknown. Serum pneumoprotein levels, surfactant protein-D (SP-D) and Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6), correlate with pulmonary damage. We aimed to test whether levels can predict rapid lung function decline in SSc. Methods: SSc patients who had serial pulmonary function tests (PFT) were analyzed for SP-D and KL-6 levels by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Levels were correlated with an annual rate of decline in % predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) of >﹣2% (out-come);controls did not experience this FVC decline. Uni- and multi-variate analysis, adjusting for age, disease duration, gender, baseline % predicted FVC, SP-D, and KL-6, was performed. Results are reported as mean ± SD. Results: Thirty three cases and 25 controls had a disease duration of 8.8 ± 7.3 and 8.3 ± 6.1 years, respectively. In adjusted analyses, lung function decline correlated with greater baseline FVC OR = 1.03 [95% CI of 1.00-1.07];a trend towards significance was observed for greater levels of SP-D with FVC decline, OR = 1.37 [95% CI of 0.96-2.12]. Conclusion: Our data provide evidence that SSc patients with long-standing disease are still at risk for lung function decline and SP-D levels may predict lung function decline.
