Initial and final assessment BETY-BQ, 6-MWT, SF-36 of SSc patients

P¹, Overall comparison of change over time.

P², Group-time interaction.

P³, Overall comparison between groups (regardless of first and last assessments).

The difference between the times indicated with the same letter is statistically significant (P < 0.05).

The difference between the groups with the same capital letter is statistically significant (P < 0.05).
