Objective. Digital ulcers (DUs) are frequent manifestations of systemic
scleroderma (SSc). This study assessed functional limitations due to DUs
among patients enrolled in the Digital Ulcer Outcome (DUO) Registry, an
international, multicentre, observational registry of SSc patients with
DU disease.
Methods. Patients completed at enrolment a DU-specific functional
assessment questionnaire with a 1-month recall period, measuring
impairment in work and daily activities, and hours of help needed from
others. Physician-reported clinical parameters were used to describe the
population. For patients who completed at least part of the
questionnaire, descriptive analyses were performed for overall results,
and stratified by number of DUs at enrolment.
Results. This study included 2327 patients who completed at least part
of the questionnaire. For patients with 0, 1-2, and DUs at enrolment,
mean overall work impairment during the prior month among
employed/self-employed patients was 28\%, 42\%, and 48\%, respectively.
Across all included patients, ability to perform daily activities was
impaired on average by 35\%, 54\%, and 63\%, respectively. Patients
required a mean of 2.0, 8.7, and 8.8 hours of paid help and 17.0, 35.9,
and 63.7 hours of unpaid help, respectively, due to DUs in the prior
month. Patients with DUs had more complications and medication use than
patients with no DUs.
Conclusion. With increasing number of DUs, SSc patients reported more
impairment in work and daily activities and required more support from
others.

simulazione ASN
Il report seguente simula gli indicatori relativi alla propria produzione scientifica in relazione alle soglie ASN 2023-2025 del proprio SC/SSD. Si ricorda che il superamento dei valori soglia (almeno 2 su 3) è requisito necessario ma non sufficiente al conseguimento dell'abilitazione. La simulazione si basa sui dati IRIS e sugli indicatori bibliometrici alla data indicata e non tiene conto di eventuali periodi di congedo obbligatorio, che in sede di domanda ASN danno diritto a incrementi percentuali dei valori. La simulazione può differire dall'esito di un’eventuale domanda ASN sia per errori di catalogazione e/o dati mancanti in IRIS, sia per la variabilità dei dati bibliometrici nel tempo. Si consideri che Anvur calcola i valori degli indicatori all'ultima data utile per la presentazione delle domande.
La presente simulazione è stata realizzata sulla base delle specifiche raccolte sul tavolo ER del Focus Group IRIS coordinato dall’Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia e delle regole riportate nel DM 589/2018 e allegata Tabella A. Cineca, l’Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia e il Focus Group IRIS non si assumono alcuna responsabilità in merito all’uso che il diretto interessato o terzi faranno della simulazione. Si specifica inoltre che la simulazione contiene calcoli effettuati con dati e algoritmi di pubblico dominio e deve quindi essere considerata come un mero ausilio al calcolo svolgibile manualmente o con strumenti equivalenti.
