Pulmonary involvement in systemic sclerosis: can sex play a role?
Our results showed that, although ILD is more common in male SSc patients, SAD was more prevalent among female individuals. Importantly, female sex remained an independent predictor of SAD. This study further supports the presence of sex-related differences in SSc, with important implications in disease course and management.
