Background

The increased availability of myositis autoantibodies represents new possibilities and challenges in clinical practice (Lundberg IE, Tjärnlund A, Bottai M, Werth VP, Pilkington C, de Visser M, et al. 2017 European League Against Rheumatism/American College of Rheumatology classification criteria for adult and juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathies and their major subgroups.

The aim of this study was to perform a retrospective data analysis of patient cases with positive myositis autoantibodies to analyse their significance in routine rheumatology practice.

Methods
