dc.description.abstractObjective. The aim of this study was to sonographically assess the presence and distribution of enthesopathy in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods. Consecutive patients with SSc and age-matched healthy controls were included in this study. All of the patients met the 2013 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism classification criteria for SSc. Six entheses sites were evaluated using gray scale and Doppler ultrasonographies (USs) with a linear transducer and were scored using the Madrid Sonography Enthesitis Index (MASEI). Results. We evaluated 52 patients with SSc (46.10 ± 13.42 years) and 41 healthy controls (49.59 ± 9.35 years). Patients with SSc had significantly higher MASEI scores than the healthy controls. Except for plantar aponeurosis, the tendons and ligaments were thicker in the SSc group. In the SSc group, there were 25 (48.1%) diffuse cutaneous SScs and 22 (42.3%) limited cutaneous SScs. Variables such as age, BMI, disease duration, diagnostic delay and MASEI scores were similar in subgroups of SSc. There was a positive correlation between MASEI score and age, modified Rodnan's skin score and dyspnea grade, and a negative correlation with handgrip strength. Conclusion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study showing the presence of enthesopathy in patients with SSc using US. Enthesopathy should be kept in mind in symptomatic patients with SSc; additionally, it can be easily identified with US. © 2015 Japan College of Rheumatology.
