Our meta-analysis revealed a poor pooled 3-year survival rate of 52% in patients with SSc-associated PH. Baseline hemodynamic measures of PAH severity, but not the period of time during which patients were included in the studies, correlated significantly with survival in patients with SSc-associated PAH. All of the prognostic factors typically observed in idiopathic PAH, including the 6-minute walk distance and right atrial pressure, were also prognostic factors in SSc-associated PAH.
