No Clear Association Between the Presence of Ultrasound Synovitis and Patient Reported Outcomes in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients in Remission
Background/Purpose: Several studies assessed disease activity with ultrasound in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who were in clinical remission. These studies found ultrasound synovitis in 48-73%…Abstract Number: 2687 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Clinical Significance of Patient-Reported Pain and Stiffness at Each Joint Level in the Evaluation of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Patient-reported outcome has been considered as an important aspect in the evaluation of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recently, ultrasonography (US) has been used…Abstract Number: 2688 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Socioeconomic Status, Ethnicity/Race, and Autoantibody Status in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Ethnic disparities in outcomes of RA patients have been attributed to delayed presentation to specialty care and access to DMARDs, greater disease burden, and…Abstract Number: 2689 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Discrepancies Between Patients and Physicians in Their Perceptions of Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity Are Multifactorial in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Patients and physicians often differ in their perceptions of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity, as quantified by the patient's global assessment (PGA) and by…Abstract Number: 2690 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Effects of Disease of the Joints on Modified Health Assessment Questionnaire Scores in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients: A Retrospective Study Using the National Database of Rheumatic Diseases By Ir-Net in Japan

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Multi-Center Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Trials: Methodology for Optimizing Reliability of Acquisition and Real-Time Scoring
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) literature reports good reliability of scoring still images with training, but inconsistent reliability of scoring during acquisition, likely…Abstract Number: 2692 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Patients Evaluation of Pain and Disease Activity As Well As Improvement during One-Year Follow-up on Etanercept Treatment Is Highly Associated to Subjective Factors and Not to Objective Assessments Including Ultrasound
Background/Purpose: Patient reported outcomes (PROs) are important for evaluation of treatment response in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Ultrasound (US) is a sensitive method for…Abstract Number: 2693 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparing Eight Year Clinical and Radiographic Outcome in Two Cohorts of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: To compare patient and disease characteristics over the first 8 years of disease in a large inception cohort of early RA patients included 1992…Abstract Number: 2694 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Variations in the Metabolome in Response to Disease Activity of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Anti-TNF-alpha therapies are able to control rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity and to limit structural damage. Nevertheless, no predictive factor of response to anti-TNF-alpha,…Abstract Number: 2695 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Th17 Cell Related Cytokines and Microarray Expression Profiles in Patients with Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore new biomarkers for early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). For better discrimination power, we especially investigated…Abstract Number: 2696 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Geography and Association Between Patient Reported Outcomes and Disease Activity (DAS28) Components in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Among 17 Countries
Background/Purpose: 28 joints-disease activity score (DAS28) is routinely used in clinical practice to assess disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). DAS28, particularly its subjective components…Abstract Number: 2697 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Phenome-Wide Association Study of Rheumatoid Arthritis Subgroups Identifies Association Between Seronegative Disease and Fibromyalgia
Background/Purpose: The differences between seronegative and seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have not been widely reported. We performed an electronic health record (EHR)-based phenome-wide association study…Abstract Number: 2698 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
