The Performance Characteristics of Composite Measures Used in a Randomized Trial Examining Etanercept and Methotrexate as Monotherapy or in Combination in Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Composite measures of disease activity are used in psoriatic arthritis (PsA), but their relative performance and contributions of individual components to overall scores are…Abstract Number: 2796 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
The Association Between Omega-3 Supplementation and Disease Activity in a Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Observational Cohort
Background/Purpose: Omega-3 supplementation is one of a few complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies that has shown promise in improving RA symptoms through small, randomized…Abstract Number: 469 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Location and Size of Affected Joints Are Useful to Predict Prognosis of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: To predict prognosis of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from the location and the size of affected joints.Methods: Data of 7,776 patients with RA,…Abstract Number: 1535 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Achievement of Very Low Disease Activity and Remission Treatment Targets Is Associated with Reduced Radiographic Progression in Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis Treated with Certolizumab Pegol
Background/Purpose: Several disease activity measures and thresholds have been recommended as psoriatic arthritis (PsA) treatment targets, although consensus on the most appropriate assessment tool is…Abstract Number: 473 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
RA Presents in Disease Patterns Impacting Treatment Response
Background/Purpose: Despite significant research on rheumatoid arthritis (RA), disease courses have not been clearly described. Like systemic lupus erythematosus and multiple sclerosis, RA displays a…Abstract Number: 1537 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Concomitant Treatment with Methotrexate Does Not Increase the Efficacy of Ustekinumab or TNF Inhibitors in Psoriatic Arthritis: Results from a Real-world, Multicenter Study
Background/Purpose: The additional benefit of methotrexate as a concomitant treatment in PsA has not been fully elucidated. Observational data exist for concomitant methotrexate (MTX) use…Abstract Number: 502 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Disease Activity Measures at Baseline and 3 Months as Predictors of Rapid Radiographic Progression in Methotrexate Naïve Patients with Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
