A 2:1 cohort of age- and sex-matched patients without SSc from the same population was randomly selected for comparison. All hospitalizations in the geographic area from January 1, 1987, to September 30, 2018, were obtained. Rates of hospitalization, lengths of stay, and readmissions were compared between groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were 76 incident SSc cases and 155 non-SSc comparators (mean age 56 \u00b1 16 yrs at diagnosis\/index, 91% female) included. Rates of hospitalization among cases and comparators were 31.9 and 17.9 per 100 person-years, respectively (rate ratio [RR] 1.78, 95% CI 1.52\u20132.08). Hospitalization rates were higher in patients with SSc than comparators during the first 5 years after SSc diagnosis (RR 2.16, 95% CI 1.70\u20132.74). This difference decreased over time and was no longer significant at \u2265 15 years after SSc incidence\/index.
