Beyond screening for pulmonary arterial hypertension: The DETECT score is a potential promising prediction tool for all-cause mortality in systemic sclerosis: Analysis from the EUSTAR database

Key Points

• The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the DETECT score in predicting all-cause mortality in systemic sclerosis.
• Analysis of data from the EUSTAR database
• Assessment of the DETECT score across different SSc cohorts
• Evaluation of risk stratification capabilities
• The DETECT score robustly predicts all-cause mortality in systemic sclerosis patients.
• A score greater than 40 enhances risk stratification for patients.
• Further validation of the prediction over one-year outcomes is needed.
