Fatigue and its relationship with disease-related factors in patients with systemic sclerosis: A cross-sectional study

Along with the decrease in diffusion capacity, increase dyspnea, a decrease in both peripheral and respiratory muscle strength, and worsening functional capacity may have an effect on increased fatigue in SSc patients. Increased fatigue can also affect the life quality and daily life activities of a patient. Therefore, multidisciplinary approaches are recommended to evaluate and improve these parameters in the treatment of fatigue from the early period in SSc patients.
