Does Fibromyalgia Change the Evaluation of Spondyloarthritis Activity? A Meta-analysis of Observational Studies
Background/Purpose: Recent studies evaluated the prevalence of Fibromyalgia (FM) in Spondyloarthritis (SpA) and its impact on disease activity scores, but none meta-analysis exists yet. Therefore,…Abstract Number: 1593 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Extra-Articular Manifestations, Neoplasms and Cardiovascular Events in a Series of Spondyloarthritis from a Single Center
Background/Purpose: Spondyloarthritis(SpA) is characterized by axial, peripheral and extra-articular manifestation(EAMs). Its frequency depends on the series, being the psoriasis(Ps), uveitis and inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) the…Abstract Number: 1611 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Hospitalizations for Serious Infections in Psoriatic Arthritis Patients: Data from the National Inpatient Sample 2000-2014
Background/Purpose: Increased risk of infections has been recognized in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) compared to those without PsA. Immunomodulatory effects of PsA, immunosuppressive therapies…Abstract Number: 2826 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Emergence of Severe Spondyloarthropathy Related Entheseal Pathology Following Successful Vedolizumab Therapy for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Background/Purpose: Vedolizumab therapy for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been associated with mild spondyloarthritis (SpA) related features including sacroiliitis and synovitis. Herein, we report a…Abstract Number: 2922 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Sacroiliac Joints in Patients with Osteitis Condensans Ilii Reveals a Typical Pattern of Lesions Relevant for Differential Diagnosis with Axial Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: Osteitis condensans ilii (OCI) is regarded to as a non-inflammatory disorder induced by mechanical stress and mechanical instability of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ). OCI…Abstract Number: 1578 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Initiation, but Not the Persistence, of Experimental Spondyloarthritis in HLA-B27/Huβ2m Transgenic Rats Is Crucially Dependent on the IL-23 Axis
Background/Purpose: IL-17A is a central driver of spondyloarthritis (SpA) pathology. IL-17A production was originally proposed to be IL-23 dependent. Emerging preclinical and clinical evidence from…Abstract Number: 577 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Value of C-Reactive Protein As a Predictor of Radiographic Spinal Progression Is Strongly Dependent on β-Fibrinogen and Factor XIII a-Subunit Genotypes in Patients with Axial Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: It has been shown in the past that inflammatory activity (i.e., elevated C-reactive protein) predicts radiographic spinal progression in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).…Abstract Number: 629 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Is Earlier Golimumab Treatment Initiation in Psa and As Patients Associated with Improved Outcomes?
Background/Purpose: Previous studies have suggested that treating patients earlier with biologics could improve disease outcomes. The aim of this analysis was to assess the impact…Abstract Number: 677 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Low Functional Relevance of Radiographic Spinal Progression in Patients with Early Axial Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: It has been shown in the past that radiographic spinal progression is an important determinant of the functional outcome in patients with advanced axial…Abstract Number: 714 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Functional Relevance of Structural Damage in the Sacroiliac Joints in Patients with Axial Spondyloarthritis – Results from the German Spondyloarthritis Inception Cohort
Background/Purpose: To analyze the association between the presence of structural damage in the sacroiliac joints and physical function / spinal mobility in patients with axial…Abstract Number: 2755 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparison of Clinical Profile of Geriatric and Non-Geriatric Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) Patients
Background/Purpose: Data on disease characteristics of geriatric patients (>=65 years) with AS are lacking. The objective of this study is to compare: 1) the clinical…Abstract Number: 683 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Referral Strategies for the Early Diagnosis of Axial Spondyloarthritis- a Systematic Review
Background/Purpose: Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is often misdiagnosed or diagnosed late (average delay 8 to 11 years) since low back pain (LBP) is very common in…Abstract Number: 3210 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evaluation of Sacroiliac Joint Radiographs in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain: Is Erosion the Main Driver of Interreader Disagreement?
Background/Purpose: Evaluation of sacroiliac joints (SIJ) on pelvic radiographs according to the modified New York criteria (mNYc) is considered the gold standard for classification of…Abstract Number: 632 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
IL-23 Mediates Psoriasis-like Inflammation in the SKG Mouse Model of Spondyloarthropathy
Background/Purpose Psoriasis (Ps) is a common immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease and is a well- recognised extra-articular manifestation of the spondyloathopathies (SpA). Genetic studies implicate IL-23…Abstract Number: 2697 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
