Connective Tissue Disease Screening Questionnaire (CTDSQ)

The Connective Tissue Disease Screening Questionnaire (CTDSQ) is a tool used by healthcare providers to identify signs and symptoms that could indicate the presence of connective tissue diseases, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or scleroderma. It involves a series of questions about symptoms like joint pain, skin changes, fatigue, and other health issues. The goal is to help doctors determine who may need further tests or specialist evaluation, facilitating early detection and treatment of these complex autoimmune conditions.
