1980 SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS (SCLERODERMA) CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA

1980 Systemic Sclerosis (SCLERODERMA) Classification Criteria
These criteria were established in 1980 by the American Rheumatism Association (now known as the American College of Rheumatology).

MAJOR CRITERION

Proximal scleroderma: symmetrical thickening, tightening and induration of the skin of the fingers and the skin proximal to the metacarpophalangeal or metatarsophalangeal joints. These changes can involve the entire limb, face, neck and trunk.

MINOR CRITERIA

Sclerodactyly: induration and tightening of the skin of the fingers.
Digital ischemia: as manifested by digital pitting scars or atrophy of finger pads.
Bibasilar pulmonary fibrosis: reticular or reticulonodular densities most pronounced in the basilar areas of the lungs on CXR. This may produce the appearance of “honeycomb lung” and must not be due to a primary pulmonary disease.
