Background/Purpose: Tofacitinib is a novel oral Janus kinase inhibitor being investigated as a targeted immunomodulator and disease-modifying therapy for RA. This post-hoc analysis of the…Abstract Number: 76 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Difference in Performance of DAS28 and RADAI During Pregnancy Might Explain Discrepancies Between Older and More Recent Studies On the Impact of Pregnancy On Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Pregnancy is the only condition in which Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) shows spontaneous remission. Both older and more recent studies showed improvement of disease activity,…Abstract Number: 1232 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association of Actometer Assessed Physical Activity and Fatigue in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Patients with a Lower Daily Activity Have More Fatigue
Background/Purpose: Fatigue in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is related to pain and disability, and several psycho-social factors such as coping strategies. In Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS),…Abstract Number: 77 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comorbid Conditions Do Not Explain Divergent Patient Assessments of Disease Activity and Global Health in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: In the discussion of the 2010 ACR/EULAR remission criteria the issue has been raised to what extent patients are able to distinguish rheumatoid arthritis…Abstract Number: 1234 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Barriers, Benefits and Preferences for Exercise in RA Patients: A Cross Sectional Study
Background/Purpose: Physical exercise is safe and effective as an adjunctive nonpharmacological treatment modality in the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It is well established that…Abstract Number: 79 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Physician’s Global Assessment Is Affected by Physician’s Age and Gender, but Not by Patient Age and Gender in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Treated in Routine Care. Data From the Danish Nationwide Danbio Registry
Background/Purpose: Several studies have shown that significant discordance exists between patient (PATGL) and physician (DOCGL) global measures of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity. These studies…Abstract Number: 1158 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Development of Cut-off Values for High Disease Activity in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Based On the Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score
Background/Purpose: In the last decade, there have been major advances in the management of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), including the shift towards early aggressive interventions…Abstract Number: 2664 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
