Official Title: Duke Scleroderma Clinic Patient Registry
Brief Summary: The purpose of the Duke Scleroderma Registry (DSScR) is to obtain information about scleroderma. This information could be used in future research to increase the understanding of disease mechanisms, treatments, and outcomes. This research may also help develop new therapies, novel measures of disease assessment or identify previously unknown manifestations of the diseases. A prospectively followed cohort is an integral component of future translational and clinical research programs. A registry for scleroderma would allow for information to be gleaned about patients in "real-world situations" in an effort to improve the reality, generalizability and applicability of information gathered.
