Racial Disparities in Systemic Sclerosis

Duncan F Moore et al. Rheum Dis Clin North Am. 2020 Nov.

Abstract

Racial and ethnic disparities in systemic sclerosis are abundant. The incidence, severity of end-organ manifestations, functional impairment, quality of life, and mortality of systemic sclerosis vary by ethnic group. This article summarizes such disparities and explores the role of socioeconomic status in their development and persistence.
