Effects of Disease Activity and Drug Exposure on Pregnancy Outcomes with Inflammatory Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Pregnancy is often encountered in women who have inflammatory arthritis (IA), such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), juvenile arthritis (JIA) or ankylosing…Abstract Number: 2624 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibodies Titers Are Independently Modulated By Disease Activity and Synthetic or Biologic Dmards in a Seropositive Early Arthritis Population
Background/Purpose: Early introduction of some biologic (b) DMARDs has been proposed to reduce anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) titers in clinical trials settings. However, less information…Abstract Number: 2822 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 Levels and Flares of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Longitudinal Cohort Analysis
Background/Purpose: To study the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels and flares of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in a longitudinal cohort of Chinese patients. Methods:…Abstract Number: 3106 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Simple Test for Assessing and Monitoring SLE Disease Activity Status
Background/Purpose: SLE patients can experience chronically active disease, remissions and flares, or long periods of quiescence. Accurately assessing disease activity is crucial for prescribing appropriate…Abstract Number: 160 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Ultrasound Assessment of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients. External Validation and Inter-Rater Reliability of a 4-Joint Ultrasonographic Scoring System
Background/Purpose: Although Ultrasound (US) has demonstrated to be a sensitive and specific tool, its feasibility in daily clinical practice is still under debate. We have…Abstract Number: 529 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Relationship Between Promis and CDAI Scores, Disease Duration, Age and Gender in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) is a self-reported and parent-reported measure of global, physical, mental, and social health for the general population…Abstract Number: 794 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Development and Initial Validation of a Novel Lupus Disease Activity Index to Account for Glucocorticoids: Sledai-2K Glucocorticoids Index (SGI)
Background/Purpose: It is challenging to describe disease activity in SLE in the context of multiple levels of glucocorticoids (GC) treatment. We aim to develop and…Abstract Number: 1367 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Long-Term Outcomes and Their Predictors in Patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies of Adult Age: A Referral Population Study
Background/Purpose: To investigate the long-term outcomes and prognostic factors for pts with juvenile-onset idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (JIIM) who are currently adults. Methods: Adults with JIIM…Abstract Number: 1538 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Lower Ratings of Pain Intensity in Older Adults Lead to Underestimation of Disease Activity By Disease Activity Score 28-C-Reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP) in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: To investigate the influence of age on the components of the 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28)-C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis…
