Definite/Probable PM or DM = 3–4 Bohan and Peter’s Criteria; Possible DM or PM = 2 Bohan and Peter’s Criteria; Definite CADM = consistent rash and skin biopsy; Possible CADM = consistent rash without biopsy; Overlap Autoimmune Disease = myositis due to non-IIM systemic autoimmune disease. MSA = myositis specific antibody; MAA = myositis associated antibody [Ku, PM-Scl, Ro-52, Ro-60, u1-RNP, or u2-RNP]; PM = polymyositis; DM = dermatomyositis; CADM = clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis; ILD = interstitial lung disease
