OBJECTIVE: The ankle and toe brachial indices (ABI and TBI) are calculated as the ankle and toe systolic blood pressures divided by the highest brachial systolic pressure, respectively. We sought to evaluate the efficacy of ABI and TBI as an objective, non-invasive assessment of vascular involvement in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and to investigate the clinical significance of TBI in SSc. METHODS: ABI and TBI were measured using an oscillometric method in 136 outpatients, including 77 with SSc, 29 with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), 16 with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (SjS), and 14 with dermatomyositis (DM)
