The Effects of B-Limamab on Systemic Sclerosis

A Taiwan claims analysis of 1,830 systemic sclerosis patients and almost 28,000 controls showed that systemic sclerosis patients were more likely to be hospitalized with heart failure. The odds of patient with systemic sclerosis having hospitalizable heart failure was 3.3 times higher. Another really interesting report, I think this was in JAMA dermatology, was on these systemic sclerosis Cine Scleroderma. They had a lower prevalence of digital ulcers and puffy fingers, maybe half the incidence. Skin-tlamgic tages in this group were associated with diastolic dysfunction at 4.8%.
