Clinical Bedside Tools to Assess Systemic Sclerosis Vasculopathy: Can digital thermal monitoring and sublingual microscopy identify patients with digital ulcers?

CONCLUSION: DTM is a useful tool for assessing SSc-DU. While sublingual microscopy measurements did not significantly correlate to VRI in SSc-DU patients, a longitudinal study may be more helpful in capturing vasculopathy activity prior to possibly irreversible damage.
