OBJECTIVE: Assessing the construct validity of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function 10-Item Short Form (PROMIS PF-10) in a subpopulation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients with severe limitations in physical functioning (PF). METHOD: RA/axSpA patients with severe functional limitations completed the PROMIS PF-10, Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI for RA) or Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI for axSpA), 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), EuroQol 5-dimensions 5-level (index score, EQ-VAS), and performed the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT)...

OBJECTIVES: To assess the association between sex and clinical and disease activity indices, and X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features, in early-stage axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). METHOD: Baseline data analysis was conducted on the Italian SPACE cohort, including patients with chronic back pain (duration ≥ 3 months and ≤ 2 years; onset < 45 years). Patients underwent MRI and X-rays of the sacroiliac joints (SIJs) to establish the diagnosis of axSpA, according to Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society criteria and physician's judgement...

OBJECTIVE: Compare characteristics, sex differences, and management of gout in Sweden and the UK. METHOD: The results from two separate primary care gout surveys from Sweden and the UK were compared. Participants aged ≥18 years with gout were sent a questionnaire asking about lifestyle, gout characteristics, uratelowering therapy (ULT), comorbidities, disability, and disease impact. For sex comparison, participants were pooled across countries. RESULTS: In total, 784 (80% male) participants from Sweden and 500 (87% male) from the UK were included...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate an individually tailored smoking-cessation intervention delivered in rheumatology care and compare the characteristics of patients who quit smoking with those who did not. METHOD: This was an open single-group prospective intervention study over 24 months, with assessments at baseline and at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Current smokers with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were invited to a smoking-cessation programme including behavioural change support, with or without pharmacotherapy...

Aortic involvement in immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is extremely rare and is often overlooked during the aortitis work-up. IgG4-related aortitis differs from non-IgG4-related aortitis in its histopathological features, site of involvement, laboratory markers, and treatment options. The histopathological examination of the vessel walls characteristically reveals adventitial thickening with intimal sparing, typically affecting the infrarenal abdominal aorta. In addition, inadequate knowledge about the disease often leads to delayed or missed diagnosis and undermanagement of a potentially treatable condition...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether disease activity-guided tapering of biologics compared to continuation as usual care enables a substantial dose reduction while disease activity remains equivalent. METHOD: In this pragmatic, randomized, open-label, equivalence trial, adults with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or axial spondyloarthritis in low disease activity on stable-dose biologics for ≥ 12 months were randomized 2:1 into either the tapering group, i...

OBJECTIVES: Inflammatory joint diseases (IJDs) substantially affect health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We aimed to compare HRQoL between patients with gout, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS): (i) overall; (ii) stratified by sex; and (iii) between women and men with the same IJD diagnosis. METHOD: A survey including the RAND36-Item Health Survey for assessing HRQoL was sent to patients with a diagnosis of gout, PsA, RA, or AS, registered at a rheumatology clinic or primary care centre during 2015-2017...

OBJECTIVE: Hysterectomy is the most common gynaecological surgery, performed mainly for benign uterine pathologies in women. Studies have suggested that hysterectomy is associated with osteoarthritis (OA); however, the association remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the association between hysterectomy and the risk of OA. METHOD: We performed a population-based nested case-control study using the National Health Insurance programme database from 2000 to 2016 in Taiwan...

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the use of biologic agents in these diseases in Norway. METHODS: From the Norwegian Patient Registry (NPR), we identified as PsA, axSpA and RA patients ≥18 years those with ≥2 recorded episodes with diagnostic coding for index disease (L40.5, M07.0-M07.3 for PsA; M45, M46.0, M46.1, M46.8 and M46.9 for axSpA; M05-M06 for RA)...

METHOD: Hacettepe University Hospital database was screened regarding ICD-10 codes for FMF (E85.0) and axSpA (M45). The diagnosis of FMF was confirmed by Tel-Hashomer criteria, and axSpA by the presence of sacroiliitis according to the modified New York criteria or active sacroiliitis on magnetic resonance imaging...
