: This problematic sentence is no longer in the article. The prognosis section looks basically right to me, but I do remember one paper that said limited patients die 1-4%/year, while diffuse is 7-10%/year. [[User:JoshNarins|JoshNarins]] ([[User talk:JoshNarins|talk]]) 13:00, 2 July 2013 (UTC) |

I want to know what "acrosclerosis" is. It redirects here but does not occur in the page text. Is it a synonym, or what? [[Special:Contributions/86.139.166.113|86.139.166.113]] ([[User talk:86.139.166.113|talk]]) 23:22, 11 August 2013 (UTC) |

Blanket incorrect
This article needs to be moved to "systemic sclerosis". The article is getting confused between the term scleroderma which is a symptom, and the disease, systemic sclerosis. I know scleroderma is used sometimes to refer to systemic sclerosis, but this is mostly a lay term or an incorrect term which is used by professionals. Unless it means scleroderma disorders, or primary scleroderma, which the article doesn't seem to actually mean. Source: uptodate 128.250.5.245 (talk) 13:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Scleroderma (skleer-oh-DUR-muh) is a symptom but a group of rare, progressive diseases that involve the hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues — the fibers that provide the framework and support for your body. Need to do some research yourself before you put down somebody elses research. TSR —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.90.229.42 (talk) 19:22, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
- Here is an article, published in the last month, using the term "scleroderma" to refer to "a heterogeneous group of autoimmune fibrosing disorders." Not a symptom thereof. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0738081X13000114 JoshNarins (talk) 13:39, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
Please clarify
I moved the following text to here, because it needs clarification before reinsertion: Does ≥10 to 20 years mean age, time from diagnosis or something else? What is the fraction of scleroderma patients that develop pulmonary arterial hypertension? Without that fact, the numbers are not useful. Mikael Häggström (talk) 16:07, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Prognosis is good for limited cutaneous scleroderma, except for <10% of those who develop pulmonary arterial hypertension ≥10 to 20 years. In such cases, 5-year survival is 90%, 10-year survival 75%. |
- This problematic sentence is no longer in the article. The prognosis section looks basically right to me, but I do remember one paper that said limited patients die 1-4%/year, while diffuse is 7-10%/year. JoshNarins (talk) 13:00, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
