Abstract
We have read with great interest the article published by Jinnin et al, which was an external validation of sensitivity and specificity of the EULAR/ACR (European League Against Rheumatism / American College of Rheumatology) classification criteria for idiopathic inflammatory myopathies with a Japanese cohort. The title and article claim that this is the first external validation study. While this may be true for a Japanese cohort, our intention is to alert the readers to the earlier published validation studies that preceded this and help highlight the complete body of evidence that should be considered.
