Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Objective: To report the profile of patients diagnosed with systemic sclerosis and monitored in a four-year hospital in São Paulo. Methods: Observational study with 51 patients, mostly composed of women. Descriptive statistics such as mean age, proportions (sex, ethnicity, form of the disease), and correlations between functional scores (HAQ, SHAQ, and Rodnan score) were extracted. Results: The average age found was 49.96 ± 12.01 years. The time since diagnosis was 11.19 ± 10.16 years. When separated by sex, 25% of men presented the limited form, while 65.9% of women presented the localized form. There was a statistically significant correlation (p-value<0.01) between the Rodnan score and the HAQ score, with a value of 0.36 (CI: 0.09-0.58), as well as with the SHAQ score (value of 0.33; CI: 0.05-0.55, p-value=0.01). When evaluating the correlation between the Rodnan score and the Cochin functional scale, there was a statistically significant correlation (p-value<0.01), with a value of 0.38 (0.12-0.58). Conclusion: According to the literature, this study showed the highest prevalence in women, and the predominant form is limited. Level of Evidence II; Cohort Study.
