Results

Patients with intermittent chest, head, and neck pain had higher pain scores. Patients with nausea, insomnia, and pain symptoms had particularly high pain scores. Patients felt that their pain was not as responsive to treatment as their doctors thought. Physicians did not recognize fatigue, which many patients felt was a painful symptom, as a painful symptom. There were differences in physicians' and patients' perceptions of the motivation for treating pulmonary symptoms.

Baseline Characteristics

Data from 301 patients and 129 physicians who completed the questionnaire were analyzed. In the patient group (n=301), responses were provided directly by 216 patients (71.8%) and by 85 patients' representatives (28.2%). Most patients (264, 87.7%) were aged 30-80 years, with the highest patient proportion occurring in the range of 50-60 years (27.6% [83 patients]). Overall, 63.8% (192 patients) reported they were female, and 34.6% (104 patients) were male. Of all 301 patients, 37.9% (114 patients) had a disease duration of >5 years, followed by 20.3% (61 patients) with 1-3 years and 15.3% (46 patients) with 3-5 years in duration. Regarding the disease type classification, 143 patients had lcSSc (47.5%) and 135 had dcSSc (44.9%). The most common SSc-related autoantibodies were anti-centromere antibodies (32.6% [98 patients]), followed by anti-topoisomerase I (Scl-70) antibodies (30.6% [92 patients]), and anti-RNA polymerase III antibodies (22.6% [68 patients]). The most common departments patients consulted with were Dermatology (61.8% [186 patients]) and Rheumatology (44.5% [134 patients]), with some patients visiting both.

Participant flow

Leaflets with the survey Internet address were distributed to patients registered as having "SSc" in the Patients Association for Collagen Vascular Diseases Japan database (Tokyo, Japan). Additionally, an announcement containing the survey's Internet address was posted within the Systemic Sclerosis Patient Community group on the "LINE Open Chat", an online social platform within the LINE mobile messaging application by LY Corporation (Tokyo, Japan) and operated by QLife, Inc. (Tokyo, Japan). An invitation with the survey Internet address was also sent along with the QLife, Inc. newsletter to all those who were subscribed. To obtain responses from physicians, the questionnaire was sent to the m3.com magazine e-mail subscription database (M3, Inc., Tokyo, Japan).
