| Description: |
Objectives: Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) can be induced by stress and environmental factors, occurring as a primary disease (pRP) or associated with connective tissue disease. RP is seen in more than 95% of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and may precede its diagnosis by several years. Accordingly, there is a clear need to identify those patients with RP who will eventually develop connective tissue disease, including SSc. The aim of this case-control study was to assess the association of SSc-RP versus pRP with respect to environmental factors, lifestyle habits, and clinical setting. Methods: A questionnaire was used to collect current data from 180 patients with SSc-RP and 103 with pRP. Statistical analyses were performed to identify possible risk factors for SSc-RP. Results: SSc-RP was found to be inversely associated with living in urban area (OR=0.37; p |
