The Turkish version of SScQoL seems to have adequate psychometric properties and can be used to evaluate HRQoL in clinical and research settings. Key points • Turkish version of SScQoL is a valid and reliable tool for measuring health-related quality of life of patients with systemic sclerosis. • SScQoL is the only diseases-specific quality of life measurement for systemic sclerosis available in Turkish. • Patients with limited and diffuse SSc seem to be similar in terms of self-reported health-related quality of life.
