Microstomia is associated with functional impairment and is a poor prognostic factor in systemic sclerosis – a single center observational study with survival analysis
Microstomia was associated with joint damage, and higher overall disability based on HAQ-DI. Interlabial distance was a beneficial, convenient measurable parameter to characterize oral aperture. Oral area was an independent poor prognostic factor regarding long-term survival.
