This Medudy course is a video tutorial for physicians on the topic of "Temperature and self-reported Raynaud's in systemic sclerosis". The format used here is a so-called "Journal Club Summary", in which we summarize the latest and most clinically relevant studies for you.
Raynaud's phenomenon is the earliest and most common manifestation of systemic sclerosis. The episodes can be triggered by exposure to cold and changes in ambient temperature. Small studies have found that the occurrence of Raynaud's phenomenon is related to the time of year. Today's study therefore aimed to investigate the relationship between differences in ambient temperature and the occurrence of Raynaud's phenomenon across the entire temperature spectrum.
Note: All "speakers" appearing in the Medudy videos are AI-based avatars used to improve the didactics of the videos. The people on whom the avatars are based have explicitly consented to their use. All content is based on high-quality scientific sources and is created and reviewed by the Medudy medical team.
At the end of this course you will know
- the clinical background and relevance of the research question under investigation
- the study design and methodology of the publication to answer the research question
- the results and key takeaways of the publication
- the conclusion of the publication and possible limitations
