Abstract

Symptoms of people who have systemic sclerosis (SSc) are heterogeneous and difficult to address clinically. Because diverse symptoms often co-occur and may share common underlying mechanisms, identifying symptoms that cluster together may better target treatment approaches. We sought to identify and characterize patient subgroups based on symptom experience.
