Neural Networks for Distinguishing Rheumatoid Arthritis from Psoriatic Arthritis by Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Background/Purpose: To evaluate (i) whether neural networks can distinguish seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA+), seronegative RA (RA-), and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) using MRI data based on…Abstract Number: 0664 • ACR Convergence 2022
Development of a Novel Gene Expression-based Molecular Score That Characterizes Individual Lupus Patients
Background/Purpose: Patients with SLE can exhibit considerable clinical heterogeneity. A robust patient stratification approach can help to characterize individual lupus patients more effectively based on…Abstract Number: 0905 • ACR Convergence 2022
Predicting Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Using Machine Learning: Data from the ACR’s RISE Registry
Background/Purpose: Predicting the trajectory of disease in individuals with RA is difficult, with numerous factors influencing whether a patient may experience higher or lower disease…Abstract Number: 1224 • ACR Convergence 2022
‘No Route Map’: The Complex Healthcare Journeys of People with Fibromyalgia – a Record Linkage Study in the UK
Background/Purpose: Healthcare services for persons with fibromyalgia (FM) lack co-ordination. Patients describe feeling 'invisible' within healthcare systems and often report poor experiences of care, particularly…Abstract Number: 1271 • ACR Convergence 2022
Uptake of Rheumatology-Specific Quality Measures Submitted to National Pay-for-Performance Programs: An Analysis of Participants in the RISE Registry
Background/Purpose: In recent years, the American College of Rheumatology has stewarded a number of rheumatology-specific quality measures for use in national pay-for-performance programs. While the…Abstract Number: 1301 • ACR Convergence 2022
Reliable Transition Policy Distribution and Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire Completion Using a Digital Intervention in a Pediatric Rheumatology Clinic
Background/Purpose: The process of transition from pediatric- to adult-based care should be well-timed, coordinated, and planned to educate and encourage the adolescent towards an adult…Abstract Number: 1351 • ACR Convergence 2022
Development, Implementation, and Usability Testing of a New Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient-Reported Outcomes EHR-based Dashboard: A Mixed-Method Study
Background/Purpose: Shared decision making is a key component of a treat-to-target approach for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We created an EHR tool that…Abstract Number: 1400 • ACR Convergence 2022
Machine Learning Identifies Molecular Phenotypes That Predict Incident Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). General population CVD risk calculators underestimate risk in RA,…Abstract Number: 0561 • ACR Convergence 2021
Enhancing the Identification of Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease in Electronic Health Records Through Text Mining of Computerized Tomography Reports
Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an extraarticular manifestation of RA that leads to increased morbidity and mortality. Algorithms incorporating multiple diagnostic and procedure codes…Abstract Number: 0566 • ACR Convergence 2021
Natural Language Processing of Electronic Health Record Notes Captures Forced Vital Capacity in Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis-interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) has a poor long-term prognosis, including premature mortality. Longitudinal monitoring of patients in clinical and clinical trial settings includes…
