Background/Purpose: To demonstrate non-inferiority of the response of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS)-assessed synovitis to baricitinib, alone and plus MTX vs. etanercept plus MTX in patients with…Abstract Number: 2638 • ACR Convergence 2024
Defining Sonographic Enthesitis in Psoriatic Arthritis: Developing a Data- and Expert-driven Diagnostic Criteria for Inflammatory Enthesitis at the Single Enthesis Level
Background/Purpose: Clinical enthesitis occurs in 30-40% of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients, but its clinical diagnosis is challenging due to similarities to non-specific entheseal pain. Despite…Abstract Number: 0221 • ACR Convergence 2024
The Significance of Tenderness with or Without Swelling of Finger Joints in Relation to Magnetic-resonance-imaging, Ultrasound and X-ray in Psoriatic Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The musculoskeletal involvement in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) can involve both articular and extra articular structures manifested by inflammatory and structural lesions. The relationship between…Abstract Number: 0850 • ACR Convergence 2024
Assessment of Correlation Between Composite Ultrasonographic Index (ECODAS) and Disease Activity Score 28 in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Conventional Disease Activity Score 28 has variable sensitivity, subjectivity, inherent bias due to certain variables such as more weightage to joint tenderness and overestimation…Abstract Number: 1416 • ACR Convergence 2024
Ultrasound (US)-guided Core-needle Biopsy (CNB) of the Non-swollen Parotid Gland: A Feasible and Well-tolerated Technique for Diagnosing and Stratifying Sjögren’s Disease (SjD)
Background/Purpose: Histopathology remains a cornerstone in the diagnostic workup of Sjögren’s disease (SjD). Ultrasound (US)-guided core needle biopsy (CNB) of the parotid gland has emerged…Abstract Number: 1961 • ACR Convergence 2024
Salivary and Lacrimal Glands Ultrasonography in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients
Background/Purpose: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune inflammatory condition that can manifest in various ways, such as oral and eye-related symptoms, which may overlap…Abstract Number: 2684 • ACR Convergence 2024
Assessment of Skin in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis Using High Frequency Ultrasound : A Comparative Study with Histology and Clinical Parameters of Skin Disease
Background/Purpose: The extent of skin involvement and its rate of progression can provide prognostic information for systemic sclerosis (SSc)-related morbidity and mortality. Moreover, skin assessment…Abstract Number: 0222 • ACR Convergence 2024
The Prediction of Response to Advanced Therapies on a Joint Level in Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Interpretation of Tenderness and Doppler Ultrasound
Background/Purpose: There are discrepancies between physical examination and Ultrasound (US) in detecting inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). In this study, we aimed to understand, according…Abstract Number: 0851 • ACR Convergence 2024
Diagnostic Ultrasound Enthesitis Tool (DUET) for Psoriatic Arthritis: The Distribution of Elementary Lesions Is Influenced by Site
Background/Purpose: Enthesitis is a key domain in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The Diagnostic Ultrasound Enthesitis Tool (DUET) study aims to develop a new PsA-specific sonographic scoring…
