A Phase 3, Randomized, Controlled Trial Comparing Upadacitinib Monotherapy to MTX Monotherapy in MTX-Naïve Patients with Active Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: To compare the clinical efficacy, including inhibition of structural damage, and safety of upadacitinib (UPA), a JAK1-selective inhibitor, as monotherapy, vs methotrexate (MTX) monotherapy,…Abstract Number: 2207 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2018
Detecting Hand Joint Ankylosis in Radiographic Images Using Deep Learning: A Step in Development of Automatic Radiographic Scoring System for Bone Destruction
Background/Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques including deep learning have been rapidly evolving and shown good performance in many fields over recent years. However, there are…Abstract Number: 1531 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2016
Decrease in Bone Mineral Density during Three Months of Early RA Measured By DXR Predicts Radiographic Joint Damage after One Year
Background/Purpose: Digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR) is a method to calculate peripheral bone mineral density (BMD) which calculates BMD of the hands (DXR-BMD). The aim…Abstract Number: 2501 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2016
Radiographic Damage in Patients with RA Increases By 8.3% per Year Disease Duration, in the Era of Biologic Dmards. Results from the Scqm Cohort
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory disease leading to joint destructions, if untreated. Treatment with biologic DMARDs has shown to favourably influence disease…Abstract Number: 1317 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2015
Clinical Utility of Joint Space Width and X-Ray Radiogrammetry in RA: Markers for Early Radiographic Progression
Background/Purpose: Early prediction of radiographic progression is beneficial in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patient management. The van der Heijde modified Sharp score (SHS) is currently the…Abstract Number: 2135 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2014
Patients with Moderate Disease Activity in the First 5 Years of Rheumatoid Arthritis Still Progress Radiographically Despite Conventional Disease Modifying Therapy
Background/Purpose: Patients with moderate disease are an important, and often poorly studied, patient subgroup. The extent to which traditional DMARD therapies adequately control the disease…Abstract Number: 2139 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2014
Predictors of Radiologic Disease Progression during the Rheumatoid Arthritis Comparison of Active Therapies Trial
Background/Purpose Halting joint damage is a central goal in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Much research has been conducted to identify factors associated with progressive…Abstract Number: 1424 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2014
Bone Erosions in Patients with RA: Exploring the Impact of the Anatomy of Interest on the Relationship Between MRI and X-Ray Erosion Detection
Background/Purpose: Detection of bone erosions in patients with RA is critical in clinical practice, with treatment initiation and effectiveness largely based on limiting erosive progression.…Abstract Number: 187 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2014
Revision Arthroplasty in Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis: Does Methotrexate Decrease Radiographic Lucency in RA Patients?
Background/Purpose Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have excellent total hip arthroplasty (THA) survival, and methotrexate (MTX), an anti-inflammatory disease modifying drug which may affect bone reabsorption,…Abstract Number: 2260 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2013
Smoking and Antibodies To Cyclic Citrullinated Peptides Predict Persistently High Levels Of Survivin In Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: High levels of the oncoprotein survivin may be detected in the majority of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Survivin is a sensitive predictor…Abstract Number: 1965 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2013
Performance Of a Computer-Based Method To Measure Erosions In Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Longitudinal Study
Background/Purpose: To describe the methodology of a novel computer-based technique for outlining erosions on plain radiographs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, and assess the responsiveness…Abstract Number: 1308 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2013
Low Accuracy Of Radiograph Reports In Identifying Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis In The Veterans Affairs Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry
Background/Purpose: The accurate interpretation of hand radiographs is critical in the diagnosis and management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. This project determined first,…Abstract Number: 1011 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2012
Structural Damage Is Reduced by Early Achievement of Clinical Remission
Background/Purpose: The importance of early, intensive treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to decrease disease activity and prevent structural damage is established.1 The objective of this…
