Discordance between patient and physician global assessments in early systemic sclerosis

Key Points

This research aims to investigate the differences between patient and physician global assessments in systemic sclerosis.
Assessment of patient global assessments (PtGA) and physician global assessments (PhGA)
Comparison of symptom management strategies
Evaluation of disease burden measurement
Significant discordance between PtGA and PhGA observed among patients
Differences indicate varying priorities in symptom management and evaluations
Highlights the complexity of understanding disease burden in systemic sclerosis

Abstract

Discordance between PtGA and PhGA occurs commonly, highlighting the need for comprehensive symptom management and measurement of disease burden in this complex disease. In SSc, differences in global assessments by patients and physicians reflect dissimilar weighting of data elements.
