Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Disease Activity Assessment and Population Management Processes Used By Clinician Rheumatologists
Background/Purpose: Timely disease activity assessment (DAA) and population management (PM) are known to reduce the burdens of chronic diseases, including RA. Currently, the measures and…Abstract Number: 867 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Specific SLE Disease Manifestations in the Six Months Prior to Conception Predict Similar Manifestations during Pregnancy
Background/Purpose: Active SLE, in particular lupus nephritis, during the six months prior to conception is associated with disease flare during pregnancy. Previous studies, however, have…Abstract Number: 570 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Sleep Disturbances in Korean Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis Are Associated with Increased Disease Activity
Background/Purpose: Sleep problems have been reported to be more frequent in rheumatic disease than normal population. Other studies indicate various sleep problems have been reported…Abstract Number: 364 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
In Early Rheumatoid Arthritis, the Multi-Biomarker Disease Activity Score at Different Time-Points Is Predictive of Subsequent Radiographic Progression
Background/Purpose The prediction of radiographic progression in early rheumatoid arthritis (eRA) patients is important for optimal treatment. We previously demonstrated that a multi-biomarker disease activity…Abstract Number: 2900 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Clinically Inactive Disease in Juvenile Dermatomyositis – a Proposed Revision to the Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation Criteria
Background/Purpose: Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) affects 3 children/million/year with myositis and skin disease being the typical features. The Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation (PRINTO) have recently…Abstract Number: 2568 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data (RAPID3) Provides Similar Information Compared to Ankylosing Spondylitis Specific Indices: Analyses of the DESIR French Cohort
Background/Purpose The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) –an index of only patient-self-report measures - has been the most widely used measure in…Abstract Number: 2366 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Effectiveness, Tolerability, and Safety of Subcutaneous Methotrexate in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis: Clinical Data from the St. Gallen Cohort
Background/Purpose: MTX is the cornerstone of RA treatment, although limitations of systemic exposure of oral MTX may affect its efficacy. Subcutaneous (SC) MTX has greater…Abstract Number: 1608 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Erythrocyte C4d and Antibodies to Anti-C1q Are Associated with Proteinuria in Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: Biomarkers of renal response in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may provide clues to pathogenesis and drive translation to treatment. This study was…Abstract Number: 1324 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Predictors of Disease Relapse in Juvenile Localized Scleroderma
Background/Purpose Localized scleroderma (LS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the skin and underlying tissue leading tissue damage including atrophy, dyspigmentation, and fibrosis. …Abstract Number: 866 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Heart Rate Variability: An Inflammatory Biomarker in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Heart rate variability (HRV) is a marker of vagus nerve activity and can be easily obtained with minimal technical expertise in the outpatient setting,…Abstract Number: 556 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Defining Flare in Spondyloarthritis : Thresholds of Disease Activity Variations
Background/Purpose: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) activity varies with time and treatment, but to date no clear definition of a flare of the disease is available. The aim…Abstract Number: 376 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Using the Multi-Biomarker Disease Activity Score As a Complementary Inclusion Criterion for Clinical Trials in Rheumatoid Arthritis May Enhance Recruitment
Background/Purpose Clinical trials in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often require elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) as an inclusion criterion, which may limit recruitment by excluding some patients…
