Joint involvement in SLE is the most frequent manifestation and shows a wide heterogeneity. It has not valid classification it often underestimated. Subclinical inflammatory musculoskeletal well known. We aim to describe prevalence of joint tendon hand wrist patients, either with clinical arthritis, arthralgia or asymptomatic compare healthy subjects using contrasted MRI.
Objective To describe long-term clinical and serological outcome in all systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) domains SLE patients with hand arthralgia (HA) joint ultrasound (JUS) inflammatory abnormalities, to compare them asymptomatic normal JUS. Methods HA who presented JUS abnormalities ('cases') without did not exhibit at baseline ('controls') were included. All domain involvement data collected. End follow-up activity damage scores (systemic disease index (SLEDAI), Systemic Lupus...
Objectives To determine if there is a clinicodemographic or serological profile associated with MRI-confirmed inflammatory musculoskeletal abnormalities in SLE patients. investigate the relationship between these alterations and HRQoL. Methods patients from our previous study whom wrist hand MRI contrast was performed were included. Sociodemographic, clinical, therapeutic, data PROs collected correlated findings. Results 83 analysed. Erosions synovitis more common older (55 ± 12.61 vs 45.06...
Background: this is an exploratory study to evaluate calprotectin serum levels in patients with rheumatic immune-related adverse events (irAEs) induced by immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment. Methods: a retrospective observational including irAEs syndromes. We compared the those control group of RA and healthy individuals. Additionally, we included treated ICI but without check levels. also analysed performance for identification active disease using receiver operating characteristic...
<h3>Background:</h3> We have previously described the association of ultrasound (US) pattern called proliferative synovitis (Synovial hypertrophy≥2+Power Doppler) with erosive disease, Anti-citrullinated antibodies (ACPA) and long-term need therapy modifications in patients Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).[1] <h3>Objectives:</h3> The aim this study is to validate US both disease use chronic arthritis beyond RA. <h3>Methods:</h3> Cross-sectional, multicenter study. Clinical, epidemiological,...
<h3>Background:</h3> Nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) is a simple, in-vivo, non-invasive, reliable, and inexpensive tool to analyze microvascular abnormalities in autoimmune rheumatic diseases. It proves valuable distinguishing primary secondary Raynaud phenomenon (RF) contributes the 2013 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for systemic sclerosis (SSc)<sup>1</sup>, being characterized by diagnostic prognostic significance. Moreover, capillaroscopic changes have been observed lupus erythematosus...
<h3>Background:</h3> Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) exhibits a wide range of symptoms and signs, often including joint manifestations. Subclinical inflammatory musculoskeletal involvement is frequently overlooked, its impact on SLE patients remains unclear. <h3>Objectives:</h3> To compare the stiffness synovial effusion detected by shear wave elastography (SWE), measured in kilopascals (kPa), across 3 groups with different intensity manifestations group healthy controls. explore...
Background: Articular involvement can reach up to 95% within the multisystemic manifestations of SLE. Originally, a non-erosive pattern articular inflammation was described, but emergence more sensitive imaging techniques, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), show synovitis (S), erosions (E), bone marrow edema (BME) and tenosynovitis (TS) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Nowadays, specific validated associated this disease does not yet exist, although it has begun be...
<h3>Background</h3> In the past years, information about utility of joint ultrasound (US) in SLE is raising. We know patients with hand and wrist arthralgia might show US abnormalities (1). It yet to be demonstrated prediction worse clinical outcome patients. <h3>Objectives</h3> To describe compare long-term who showed inflammatory associated presence arthralgia. <h3>Methods</h3> A prospective longitudinal study (fullfilling ACR 1982 criteria) baseline that were compared healthy assessed....
<h3>Background</h3> Systemic sclerosis (SS) is a rare disease that leads to greater morbidity and mortality than in general population, but due its unfrequency there are very few clinical epidemiological data. Some meta-analysis<sup>1</sup> about the increased incidence of cancer SS compared average population (Relative risk (RR) 1.75<sup>1</sup>) were published; even more relevant when it refers lung (RR 4.35<sup>1</sup>), population; suggesting interstitial (ILD) may be cause this...
<h3>Objectives</h3> It has been previously reported that vitamin D deficiency is more prevalent among SLE patients than in the general population. We sought to determine prevalence of insufficiency and their related factors, its relationship symptoms disease activity on a group supplemented non-supplemented female from Mediterranean region. <h3>Methods</h3> performed cross-sectional study including who regularly attended outpatient Lupus Unit at Parc de Salut Mar-IMAS Barcelona, January 2012...
<h3>Background</h3> Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are used for screening of pulmonary involvement in systemic sclerosis (SS). Decreased DLCO is the earliest and most sensitive alteration detected. It has been seen that there some SS patients with reduced values (<80%) who have no demonstrable ILD by HRCT or arterial hypertension (PAH) criteria methods (pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) tricuspid regurgitation (TR), echocardiography). divided alveolar volume (DLCO/VA) usually normal...
<h3>Background</h3> Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is one of the leading causes morbidity and premature mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Some studies have shown that Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) may be a valuable biomarker for diagnosis stratifying prognosis Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Lung Disease (RA-ILD). <h3>Objectives</h3> To evaluate diagnostic prognostic value serum KL-6 RA-ILD <h3>Methods</h3> We conducted retrospective study included patients with RA (ACR/EULAR...
