A multicenter, ongoing study of early-diagnosed cases of systemic sclerosis and comparison patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyositis/dermatomyositis and Raynaud''s phenomenon was conducted in order to develop classification criteria for systemic sclerosis. Preliminary criteria are proposed, namely, the finding of the sole major criterion, (proximal scleroderma) or 2 or more of the minor criteria: sclerodactyly; digital pitting fingertip scars or loss of substance of the distal finger pad; and bilateral basilar pulmonary fibrosis. When applied to the case and comparison patients, these proposed criteria had a 97% sensitivity for definite systemic sclerosis and 98% specificity.
