OBJECTIVES: To translate the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) Health Index (HI) Environmental Factors Item Set (EFIS) into Swedish and culturally adapt it for a Swedish context, and to assess the construct validity of the Swedish version of the ASAS HI and test-retest reliability in ASAS HI and EFIS in Swedish patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHOD: Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the EFIS were carried out according to a forward-backward procedure consisting of five steps...

OBJECTIVE: Studies examining habitual physical activity levels and patterns in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using raw data from modern accelerometers are lacking. We aimed (i) to examine physical activity levels and patterns in adults with RA in their familiar environment, and (ii) to investigate whether physical activity levels differ throughout the day. METHOD: Data were taken from Wave 8 of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, including N = 607 men and women who wore a triaxial accelerometer and had adequate information for RA and accelerometry data summarized as Euclidean norm minus one (ENMO, m g )...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare health-related quality of life (HRQoL) by gout severity, overall and by sex. METHOD: A questionnaire was sent to patients with gout (n = 1444) identified at 12 primary care centres in Western Sweden. The questionnaire asked about comorbidities, gout-specific aspects, and HRQoL, using the RAND 36-Item Health Survey. Responders were divided into 'mild', 'moderate', or 'severe' gout based on the number of self-reported flares (0, 1-2, ≥ 3) during the past 12 months...

OBJECTIVE: The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) is a frequently used measure of illness perception (IP). The aim of this study was to explore the psychometric properties of the questionnaire when used in elderly people with knee pain. METHOD: Based on data from the Frederiksberg Cohort on elderly people reporting knee pain (N = 836), the psychometric properties of the eight B-IPQ items (1 'Consequences', 2 'Timeline', 3 'Personal control', 4 'Treatment control', 5 'Identity', 6 'Concern', 7 'Coherence', and 8 'Emotions') were analysed using Rasch analysis to establish whether the questionnaire provides reliable and valid measures of IP...

OBJECTIVE: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus) is an autoimmune disease characterized by B-cell dysfunction, production of autoantibodies, and immune complex formation. Lupus is overrepresented in females, indicating that sex hormones play a role in the pathophysiology. Treatment with a tissue-selective oestrogen complex (TSEC) containing conjugated oestrogens and the selective oestrogen receptor modulator bazedoxifene (BZA) protects against postmenopausal vasomotor symptoms and osteoporosis, but its impact on organ damage in lupus is not fully understood...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore long-term changes in disease activity and remission rates, and potential sex-related differences in these outcomes, in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients treated in an outpatient clinic. METHOD: This prospective longitudinal cohort study included 114 patients. The Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA), clinical DAPSA (cDAPSA), 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28), Simplified and Clinical Disease Activity Indices (SDAI, CDAI), Boolean remission for PsA, and minimal and very low disease activities (MDA, VLDA) were assessed...

OBJECTIVE: Glucocorticoids (GCs) remain a cornerstone of the initial management of anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), but have several dose-dependent side effects, in particular infections. The optimal dosing and tapering of oral GCs for remission induction are unknown. A systematic review and meta-analysis was undertaken to determine the efficacy and safety of low- versus high-dose GC regimens. METHOD: A systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, and PubMed databases was conducted...

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of belimumab treatment in refractory anti-phospholipid antibody-associated immune thrombocytopenia with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHOD: Four SLE patients with refractory anti-phospholipid antibody-associated immune thrombocytopenia were included in this one-arm observational study. Inclusion criteria were a diagnosis of SLE according to 1997 American College of Rheumatology criteria, severe immune thrombocytopenia (platelets <30 × 109 /L), no bleeding symptoms, lack of satisfactory response to traditional treatment, and high-titre anti-phospholipid antibodies...

OBJECTIVE: To assess the cost-utility from healthcare and societal perspectives of the digital CaFaSpA referral strategy (CS) for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in primary care patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). METHOD: A cluster randomized controlled trial was performed in the Netherlands. General practice units were randomized into CS or usual care (UC). Economic evaluation was performed from the healthcare and societal perspectives within a 12-month time horizon...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of parameters of iron metabolism in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). METHOD: This was a prospective observational study recruiting patients diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SLE-PAH). Patients with other factors that might lead to PAH were excluded from the study. All patients were assessed for PAH every 1-3 months and were followed up for 6 months...

OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the relationship between anti-thrombotics and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS). METHOD: We included 13 947 subjects with APS from the National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample (NIS) database for 2016-2018, and collected relevant covariates and demographic data using ICD-10 codes. Our two primary outcomes were MACE and death. We performed multivariate logistic regression analysis to assess the impact of various anti-thrombotic regimens on MACE/death in our primary cohort and high-risk subgroups...
