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: 0669 • ACR Convergence 2020
Calcium Pyrophosphate Crystal Deposition in Gouty Tophi
Background/Purpose: The coexistence of calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) and monosodium urate crystals is rarely reported in gouty tophi. We investigated CPP crystal deposits in a series…Abstract Number: 0670 • ACR Convergence 2020
Risk Factors for Pseudogout: An Electronic Medical Record Case-Control Study
Background/Purpose: Prior studies of calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease (CPPD) epidemiology either focused on the entire spectrum of CPPD or identified patients with its acute…Abstract Number: 1542 • ACR Convergence 2020
The Role of Dual Energy Computed Tomography (DECT) in the Differentiation of Gout and Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease
Background/Purpose: Differentiation of gout and calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) is sometimes difficult as patients often present with a similar clinical picture. Arthrocentesis and subsequent…Abstract Number: 0666 • ACR Convergence 2020
Identification of Intracellular Vacuoles in Synovial Fluid with Calcium Pyrophosphate and Monosodium Urate Crystals
Background/Purpose: Synovial fluid analysis using polarized microscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of crystal-related arthritis. In our experience, we have noted that, when…Abstract Number: 0668 • ACR Convergence 2020
Outcomes and Resource Utilization After Total Knee Arthroplasty in Calcium Pyrophosphate Crystal Deposition Disease Patients: Insights from the National Inpatient Sample Database
Background/Purpose: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most frequently performed orthopedic procedures in patients with joint cartilage destruction. Calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition (CPPD)…
