Key Points

  • This study aims to identify clinical characteristics and risk factors linked to dysphagia in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM).
  • Conducted a cross-sectional observational study on IIM patients
  • Assessed the presence of dysphagia and related clinical factors
  • Measured levels of anti-SRP and anti-TIF1γ antibodies and CK-MB
  • Dysphagia is prevalent among IIM patients, particularly those with anti-SRP antibodies
  • Identified potential risk factors include anti-TIF1γ antibodies, concomitant tumors, and elevated CK-MB levels
  • These factors may assist in early identification of patients at risk for dysphagia

Abstract

Dysphagia is not rare in patients with IIM. It is important to be vigilant for the occurrence of dysphagia in IIM patients positive for anti-SRP antibodies, anti-TIFγ antibodies, concomitant tumors, and elevated CK-MB levels. Anti-TIF1γ antibodies, concomitant tumors, and elevated CK-MB levels may have potential value in identifying IIM patients at higher risk of dysphagia.
