Prevalance of Scleroderma: Estimates for the number of people in the United States with systemic sclerosis range from 40,000 to 165,000. By contrast, a survey that included all scleroderma-related disorders, including Raynaud's phenomenon, suggested a number between 250,000 and 992,500.bout prevalence and incidence statistics: The term 'prevalence' of Scleroderma usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Scleroderma at any given time.
scleroderma is usually small and changes very little, even over many years. What does this division into limited and diffuse cutaneous scleroderma tell us? Both subgroups are part of a more general disorder called systemic sclerosis and, as such, both subgroups share some features in common, including: â¢ Raynaud Phenomenon. This occurs in about 90 percent of patients with systemic sclerosis. â¢ Heartburn and other esophagus problems (particularly trouble swallowing foods). â¢ Skin sores are common, primarily on the fingers.
