Background/Purpose: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (and other inflammatory joint diseases (IJD)) have an increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. In 2009 a EULAR taskforce recommended screening,…Abstract Number: 385 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Validation of a Prognostic Model to Predict Structural Damage Assessed By X-Ray in Patients with RA Using MRI Data from a Clinical Trial
Background/Purpose: We developed and validated a prognostic model for rapid radiographic progression (RRP) using X-ray data to identify RA patients (pts) at risk of structural…Abstract Number: 96 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparison of Cardiovascular Risk Factor Management in Patients with RA and Matched Non-RA Patients
Background/Purpose : The relative risk of acute myocardial infarction in RA patients (pts) has been shown to range from 1.5 to 2.0, with a 1.4–2.7-fold…Abstract Number: 2103 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Benefits of Early Onset of DAS28 (CRP) <2.6 on Physical Functioning, Quality of Life and Resource Use Among RA Patients in a Clinical Practice Setting
