Background/Purpose: Calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease lacks recommendations on treatment strategies. This study reports on treatment modalities used in European tertiary hospitals for the management…Abstract Number: 1813 • ACR Convergence 2022
Patient-Reported Outcomes in CPPD Compared to Gout and Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease prevalence is similar to gout and osteoarthritis (OA), yet CPPD outcomes research greatly lags behind these other forms of…Abstract Number: 1817 • ACR Convergence 2022
Acute Coronary Syndrome in Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease Patients: A Cross-sectional Study from the National Inpatient Sample
Background/Purpose: Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) is a common crystal-induced arthritis characterized by the deposition of calcium pyrophosphate crystals in the articular tissues. Acute CPP…Abstract Number: 1819 • ACR Convergence 2022
Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease Is Associated with an Increased Prevalence of Nephrolithiasis
Background/Purpose: Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPDD) is a crystal arthropathy caused by calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals. Individuals with CPDD also have increased risks for other…Abstract Number: 1825 • ACR Convergence 2022
Vascular Calcifications Adjacent to the Involved Joint of Patients Diagnosed with Calcium Pyrophosphate Crystal Arthritis – a Retrospective Observational Study
Background/Purpose: Prior studies have shown an association between chondrocalcinosis (CC) and vascular calcifications. In this study, we aimed to assess the presence of vascular calcifications…Abstract Number: 1913 • ACR Convergence 2022
The Association of Radiographic Chondrocalcinosis with Localized Structural Outcomes in Knee OA: The Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study
Background/Purpose: Intra-articular (IA) mineralization due to calcium crystal deposition may contribute to OA pathology through inflammation, release of pro-catabolic factors, or altered cartilage biomechanical properties.…Abstract Number: 1582 • ACR Convergence 2021
Diagnostic Accuracy and Reliability of Conventional Radiography of the Knee in Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease by Using New Definitions: An Ancillary Study of the OMERACT Ultrasound – CPPD Group
Background/Purpose: Conventional Radiography (CR) has been widely used in Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease (CPPD) and is considered an important tool for the diagnosis. However, there…Abstract Number: 1583 • ACR Convergence 2021
Creation of an Ultrasonographic Scoring System for CPPD Extent: Results from a Delphi Process by the OMERACT US Working Group – CPPD Subgroup
Background/Purpose: Ultrasound (US) has proven to be an excellent technique for detecting Calcium Pyrophosphate (CPP) deposits, however there are no grading systems that allow for…Abstract Number: 1898 • ACR Convergence 2021
Risk of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in a Large Cohort of Patients with Acute Calcium Pyrophosphate Crystal Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Acute calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal arthritis, also known as pseudogout, causes an acute inflammatory arthritis that shares clinical similarities with gout. We investigated the…Abstract Number: 0172 • ACR Convergence 2021
Assessing Relevant Joints for Monitoring CPPD Diseases: A Systematic Literature Review of Imaging Techniques by the OMERACT Ultrasound – CPPD Subgroup
Background/Purpose: Imaging has been extensively used for the diagnosis of Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease (CPPD) but the exact prevalence of joint calcifications at imaging in…
