BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Few studies have investigated associations between rheumatologic serology patterns and different interstitial lung disease (ILD) patterns. METHODS: We present novel findings of a historic cohort study (n = 454) with data collected from 2011 to 2021 within our hospital system. In this institutional review board-approved study, data regarding rheumatologic serologies and ILD patterns were noted based on chart review in patients with scleroderma...

Rheumatologists have never been reluctant to adopt procedures that might enhance their diagnostic or therapeutic powers. Their propensity to penetrate the joints of the patients they were treating set them apart from the general internist. Since the 1980s, when a chance to look inside the joints they were treating attracted a few rheumatologists, other things that could be done at the bedside emerged with now an array of bedside procedures that could be part of a rheumatologist's skill set. Besides gains in diagnosis and/or therapy, each constitutes a chance to restore the physical contact between physician and patient, riven by factors of the last decade, such as electronic medical records and COVID...

OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the concordance between line blot (LB) and immunoprecipitation (IP) assays for detecting myositis-specific antibodies (MSAs) in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) and their association with IIM subtypes. METHODS: One hundred patients with IIM were enrolled, and MSA was detected using LB and IP. The IIM subtypes, including immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy-like, anti-tRNA synthetase syndrome-like, and clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis-like, were clinically diagnosed...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: The potential correlation between herpes simplex virus (HSV) and human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has not been definitively established. Further research is needed to determine the relationship between the development of RA and the presence of these viral infections. METHODS: A retrospective case-control study was conducted with data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2009 and 2014...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to measure COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among rheumatology outpatients from an early COVID-19 "hotspot" during the initial period of vaccine availability. METHODS: In March 2021, a Web-based survey was sent to 7505 adults seen at a Rheumatology Division in New York City. We evaluated characteristics associated with 3 categories of COVID-19 vaccination status: declined, undecided, and willing/already received. We used multinomial logistic regression models to calculate relative risk ratios assessing predictors of vaccination status...

OBJECTIVE: To describe the results from the Global Burden Disease (GBD) study 2019 on the burden of other musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed data from all LAC region in the GBD study from 1990 to 2019. Other MSK (other than rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, low back pain, and neck pain) burden was measured as prevalence, mortality, years lived with disability (YLD), and disability-adjusted life (DALY), by year, sex, and country...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Given limited information on health care and treatment utilization for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) during the pandemic, we studied JIA-related health care and treatment utilization in a commercially insured retrospective US cohort. METHODS: We studied rates of outpatient visits, new disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) initiations, intra-articular glucocorticoid injections (iaGC), dispensed oral glucocorticoids and opioids, DMARD adherence, and DMARD discontinuation by quarter in March 2018-February 2021 (Q1 started in March)...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between disease activity and choroidal thickness in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS: We conducted a cohort study of 24 SLE patients and 13 healthy controls recruited at Washington University School of Medicine between June 2019 and November 2021. SLE disease activity was assessed using the SLE Disease Activity Index-2000 Responder Index-50 (S2K RI-50). Patients were divided into four groups: high disease activity/no lupus nephritis (HDA/no LN; S2K RI-50 > 4), HDA/active LN (HDA/active LN; S2K RI-50 > 4), low disease activity/inactive LN (LDA/inactive LN; S2K RI-50 ≤ 4), and LDA/no LN (LDA/no LN; S2K RI-50 ≤ 4)...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Although the high disease burden associated with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) has been established, the disease burden in patients initiating mepolizumab in real-world practice is poorly understood. This study aimed to assess characteristics and burden of real-world patients with EGPA initiating mepolizumab. METHODS: This was a database study (GSK study ID: 214156) of US patients (≥12 years old) with EGPA and ≥1 mepolizumab claim (index date) identified from the Merative MarketScan Commercial and Medicare Supplemental Databases (November 1, 2015, to March 31, 2020)...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the utility of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB MRI) to predict relapse in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in clinical remission. METHODS: Consecutive patients with JIA who fulfilled the Wallace criteria for remission were recruited into this longitudinal pilot study and underwent WB MRI. A radiological score was devised, incorporating synovitis, bone marrow edema, sacroiliitis, enthesitis, and bone erosions. Two readers independently scored the MR data sets...

BACKGROUND: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is notoriously difficult to treat. Pain is the key symptom for patients to seek medical attention. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of joint lavage (JL) for OA-related knee pain and to explore the knee pathological changes detected by magnetic resonance imaging that may affect the prognosis of patients who received JL. METHODS: Eighty-two hospitalized patients who were diagnosed with knee OA and received JL in our department were finally enrolled in this study...

BACKGROUND: Delays in the diagnosis and treatment of dermatological conditions in minorities are a well-documented health disparity. We aimed to determine if there was a delay in detection and treatment initiation for dermatomyositis (DM) and amyopathic dermatomyositis (ADM) in patients of different skin tones. METHODS: Patients from Montefiore Medical Center who met the criteria for DM and ADM were included in this cohort study. Records were reviewed for date of first documented rash, creatine kinase levels, muscle weakness complaints, and date of first steroid or disease-modifying antirheumatic drug initiation...

METHODS: This national, multicenter study included patients' data from the TURKBIO Registry. Demographics, clinical characteristics, disease duration and activity, comorbidities, and treatments were analyzed. RESULTS: Data of 231 rheumatoid arthritis patients (84...

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is widely prevalent among the world population. Although, historically, it has been linked to opportunistic infections in keeping with immunodeficiency and immune dysregulation, it has also been associated with a wide variety of autoimmune manifestations. With the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy and subsequent restoration of immunity, there have been multiple immune-mediated diseases that have resurfaced in the HIV population. Our review highlights autoimmune diseases in association with HIV and its targeted therapies in detail...
