Abstract

Abstract Background This work aims to develop clinical practice recommendations for the management of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Results Fourteen expert panels had completed the two rounds of surveys. After the end of round 2, recommendations were released and distributed on 11 domains. The percentage of the agreement on the recommendations was 92.3% to 100%. All 11 key questions were answered at the end of the second round with agreement. Conclusion This guideline tried to tackle the gaps in research that limit treatment options. Stratifying the patients according to their disease domains has helped to set up sequential management pathways for each domain.
