Our study did not support that patients with systemic sclerosis had a disproportionally higher risk of acute cardiac hospitalization in winter compared to the general population. We found that systemic sclerosis patients hospitalized for acute cardiac care had a lower burden of traditional cardiovascular risk factors than their non-systemic sclerosis counterparts.
