We collected demographic and relevant clinical data. Two blinded assessors classified NFC images as \u2018scleroderma pattern\u2019 present or absent and recorded specific abnormalities. We assigned the NFC semi-quantitative score (range 0\u20133) based on the frequency of these abnormalities.

ASRAP scores were 11.2 points higher in women compared with men with other significant variables held constant. The NFC semi-quantitative score weakly correlated with ASRAP (Spearman\u2019s \u03c3 = 0.23, P\u2009=\u20090.05), with moderate correlation in winter (Spearman\u2019s \u03c3 = 0.36, P\u2009=\u20090.04). Holding other variables constant, patients with dilated capillaries and capillary dropout had higher ASRAP scores by 6.1 and 6.8 points, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In SSc patients, females reported higher ASRAP scores.
