Development and Validation of the ALARN Model: A Predictive Mortality Score for Antisynthetase Syndrome

The authors aimed to develop and validate a prognostic model, the ALARN score, for predicting all-cause mortality in patients with antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS). Utilizing data from 1194 patients, they identified five key prognostic factors and created a simplified scoring system that effectively stratifies patients into risk categories, demonstrating strong predictive performance in both internal and external validation cohorts. The ALARN score offers a practical tool for clinicians to assess mortality risk in ASyS patients.
