Abstract
This study underlines that fingernail changes are correlated with more severe forms of SSc characterized by digital microangiopathy, including digital ulcers and calcinosis cutis. Nail changes should be systematically checked in all patients with SSc, and may be included in the American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism classification criteria for SSc.
