Overview
Scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) is classified into 2 subtypes, limited cutaneous scleroderma and diffuse cutaneous scleroderma. Morphea and CREST syndrome are variants of limited cutaneous scleroderma. Scleroderma was previously classified according to American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1980 preliminary scleroderma criteria. Scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) is now classified according to the new American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria.
Classification
Scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) is classified into 2 main subtypes:[1][2][3]
- Limited cutaneous scleroderma:
- Fibrosis is restricted to hands, arms and face.
- Raynaud's phenomenon is present for many years before the onset of fibrosis.
- Pulmonary hypertension often occurs.
- Anti-centromere antibodies are present in more than half of the patients.
- Anti-centromere antibodies are associated with CREST (calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, telangiectasias) syndrome.[4][5]
- Morphea is a type of localized scleroderma limited to the skin and subcutaneous tissues.[6]
- Patients with internal organ involvement with out the skin manifestations are known to have systemic sclerosis sine scleroderma.
- Diffuse cutaneous scleroderma:
American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1980 preliminary scleroderma criteria
Scleroderma was previously classified according to American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1980 preliminary scleroderma criteria:[7]
- Major criteria:
- Proximal cutaneous sclerosis (skin thickening-nonpitting) of fingers that also extended proximally to the metacarpophalangeal joints (MCPs)
- Minor criteria:
- Sclerodactyly
- Digital pitting scars of fingertips or loss of substance of the distal finger pad (digital tuft resorption)
- Bibasilar pulmonary fibrosis
- Major criteria:
- Scleroderma is classified if either one major criteria or 2 of 3 minor criteria are present.
American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/ European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria
Scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) is now classified according to the new American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/ European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria:[8][9]
| Item | Sub-item(s) | Weight/score |
|---|---|---|
| Skin thickening of the fingers of both hands extending proximal to the metacarpophalangeal joints (sufficient criterion) | - | 9 |
| Skin thickening of the fingers (only count higher score) | Puffy fingers
Sclerodactyly of the fingers (distal to the metacarpophalangeal joints but proximal to the proximal interphalangeal joints) |
2
4 |
| Fingertip lesions (only count the higher score) | Digital tip ulcers
Fingertip pitting scars |
2
3 |
| Telangiectasia | - | 2 |
| Abnormal nail fold capillaries | - | 2 |
| Pulmonary arterial hypertension and/or interstitial lung disease | 2 | |
| Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) | - | 3 |
| Any of the scleroderma related autoantibodies | Anti-centromere antibodies
Anti-topoisomerase I (anti-SCL-70) Anti-RNA polymerase-3 |
3 |
- The total score is determined by adding only the highest weight/score in each category.
- Patients with a total score ≥ 9 are classified as having scleroderma.
