Systemic Sclerosis–Associated Myopathy in a Large Single‐Center Cohort: Autoantibody Profiles, Histologic Features, and Independent Risk of Death
Skeletal myopathy in SSc is associated with distinct clinical and autoantibody profiles, as well as independently increased risk of death. These findings highlight the importance of early detection and further investigation into how myopathy predicts patient outcomes, with the goal of improving targeted therapies and survival in this high-risk population.
