Objective. In this study, we aimed to address the prevalence of fatigue, its associated factors, and effect tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) on subgroup patients in a large axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) cohort. Methods. The study included 681 [ankylosing spondylitis (AS) nonradiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA)]. Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) Bath AS Disease Activity Index question 1 (BASDAI Q1) indices were used for fatigue assessment. Severe was defined as an FSS ≥ 4 or BASDAI Q1 5....
Abstract Aim The dynamics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has become special concern to the rheumatology community. Rheumatic patients are required engage in effective health management but their behavior is often influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. This cross‐sectional study aims examine patients’ experiences during current its implication on perception behavior. Method A patient‐centered electronic survey was used, randomly sampling rheumatic Saudi Arabia March...
Purpose: This study aimed to assess patient activation using measure 13 (PAM-13) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and axial spondyloarthritis (axSPA). Patients methods: A cross-sectional was conducted involving patients with three rheumatological conditions (SLE, PsA, axSPA). were contacted either at the clinic or through social media platforms. Data, including demographics, PAM 13, Arabic compliance questionnaire for rheumatology (ACQR), disease-related...
In this randomized controlled trial, we compared the effect of celecoxib and acetaminophen on pain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scores in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain.A total 50 were blindly into 2 groups treated (200 mg twice daily) or (500 daily). Outcome measures included pain, nocturnal Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores, Short Form 36 health survey to assess physical mental status, patient global assessment. Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity...
To compare the antero-posterior (AP) pelvis view with Ferguson of SI joint in order to resolve whether one modality has a clear advantage for grading sacroiliitis.One hundred and nine patients fulfilling Assessment SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) criteria axial spondyloarthritis who had AP views on same day were identified from an clinic registry. Two rheumatologists independently scored according modified New York (NY) criteria. Intra- inter-reader agreements obtained both...
This study examined the prevalence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among Saudi patients with SLE and general population considered factors associated such outcomes were taken into consideration.
Tofacitinib is an oral Janus kinase inhibitor for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). This post hoc analysis assessed tofacitinib efficacy on enthesitis by baseline location and severity, impact disease activity patient-reported outcomes (PROs), in patients with PsA.Data were pooled from two phase 3 studies (NCT01877668/NCT01882439) PsA receiving 5 or 10 mg twice daily to month (M)6 placebo M3. Endpoints were: change Leeds Enthesitis Index (LEI) Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium...
Background: Methotrexate (MTX) Intolerance Severity Score (MISS) has been previously validated in the Arabic language and helped to detect high levels of intolerance rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. The aim current study was evaluate patient disease characteristics associated with a risk MTX intolerance. Materials Methods: A cross-sectional interview-based survey conducted using adult RA patients as group, who were visiting specialized rheumatology clinic at King Saud University Medical...
Abstract Aim Methotrexate (MTX) is the anchor drug for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). MTX associated with adverse events that limit its use. The intolerance severity score (MISS) was developed to identify symptoms related use in juvenile idiopathic and RA patients. aim this study translate validate MISS Arabic language. Methods Forward backward translation were performed by two fluent translators reviewed three rheumatologists. Consecutive patients who used ≥3 months recruited from...
Systemic Lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic multisystem, multifactorial inflammatory autoimmune disease. The SLE patients have 3 times increased risk of mortality based on international data with ethnicity playing an important impact patients' morbidity and mortality. Descriptive studies from Saudi Arabia showed variation in clinical features one region to another. Moreover, reliable inference these limited by study methodology lack translational using biological samples understand...
Rheumatic diseases (RD) are chronic that significantly affect the lives of patients. Assessing health outcomes through a patient-reported outcome measurement information system (PROMIS) is essential for RD management. Moreover, these tend to be less favorable among individuals than rest population. This study aimed compare PROMIS between patients and other cross sectional was conducted in year 2021. Information about with obtained from registry at King Saud University Medical City. Patients...
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged medical education and resulted in a rapid unexpected global shift toward online education. study presents the experience of College Medicine King Saud University delivering comprehensive internal medicine course for final-year students, which includes implementation novel methods assessment. Methods: A 2-week revision was conducted 70 pregraduation students. Lectures focused case-based tutorials were online. Novel assessment included brief...
Gastrointestinal manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are common, occurring in about 50% cases. They usually mild, the form mouth ulcers, nausea, heartburn and mild abdominal pain, but they can be severe cases gastrointestinal vasculitis. In this report we describe an unusual combination SLE complications, namely superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) reversible acute obstructive renal failure. This was attributed to raised intra-abdominal pressure hence compartment...
A simple measure to assess drug adherence in Saudi patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is required. The aim of this study was translate and validate the 5-Item Compliance Questionnaire for Rheumatology (CQR5) into Arabic.The questionnaire translated culturally adapted Arab six steps: initial translation, synthesis back expert committee review, test pre-final version, development Arabic CQR5 (ACQR-5). resulting version tested validity RA.A total 103 adult RA were recruited from...
Bony exostoses, or osteochondromas, are benign bone tumors that usually develop at growth plates during the period. Large exostosis can compress nearby vascular structures, causing occlusion, perforation, pseudoaneurysm. We report a case of middle-aged woman with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and atherosclerotic risk factors who had an unusual presentation chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) left leg combined flare-up RA. She was found to have occluded popliteal artery due large femur...
Objective Seronegative spondyloarthropathies (SpA) are a group of rheumatological disorders that share the common feature being rheumatoid factor negative. Inflammation sacroiliac joint is considered hallmark ankylosing spondylitis (AS). On other hand, psoriatic arthritis (PsA) affects patients with psoriasis. It characterized by asymmetrical oligoarticular arthritis. Involvement distal interphalangeal unique PsA. Enteropathic (EnA) involves presence inflammatory arthropathy in bowel disease...
To describe Spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients in a single center (preliminary phase), Build connections to establish local cohorts, Saudi Registry, and publication Gulf Arab database.This prospective observational cohort consists of with spondylarthritis diagnosed by rheumatologist. Patients AS were defined as those who met the modified New York criteria for Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) 1984.
