Components of Medsger Severity Index.

Multivariate model after adjustment for age at enrollment, gender, ethnicity, disease duration, and treatment with immunosuppressive agents

Abbreviations: FVC: Percent predicted forced vital capacity; DLco: Percent predicted diffusing capacity; mRSS: modified Rodnan Skin Score; CK: Creatine kinase. Cor: Correlation coefficient; pu: p value from univariable model; pm : p value from multivariable model after adjustment for age at enrollment, gender, ethnicity, disease duration, and treatment with immunosuppressive agents; pm‡: p value from multivariable model with multiple comparison correction.
