The scleroderma pattern was the dominant capillaroscopy pattern in all groups except for PM and pure PM. Some of patients with PM could be categorized as OM. In the DM and pure DM subgroups, there was a significant association between global and skin activity and higher NFC score. Adding the NFC to the classification of IIM is probably helpful in more detailed classifications.
