Colchicine or Prednisone for the Treatment of Acute Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Arthritis: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
Background/Purpose: Treatment of acute CPP arthritis mainly relies on expert opinion, as there are no trials that assessed the efficacy of anti-inflammatory drugs, despite the…Abstract Number: 1804 • ACR Convergence 2022
Raman Spectroscopy Integrated with Polarized Light Microscopy for Diagnosis of Crystallopathies
Background/Purpose: The current golden standard in diagnosing gout and calcium pyrophosphate deposition is polarized light microscopy (PLM). However, small crystal sizes, the presence of other…Abstract Number: 1813 • ACR Convergence 2022
Patient-Reported Outcomes in CPPD Compared to Gout and Osteoarthritis
