Persistent inflammation is an insidious and less studied feature of FMF. We investigated clinical determinants persistent its associations with individual damage items.This a cross-sectional analysis 917 FMF patients, who fulfilled the Tel Hashomer criteria had at least 6 months' follow-up. Patients were stratified based on whether they inflammation. used logistic regression to investigate independent predictors associated items.One hundred forty-two (15%) patients Active (54%) was most...
Background: Chronic inflammation, as determined by persistently elevated acute-phase reactants in attack-free periods, can occasionally be observed patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and is suggested to a risk factor for the development of amyloidosis. We aimed investigate underlying causes chronic inflammation FMF its association amyloidosis long-term follow-up.Method: Electronic medical records who had regular follow-up ≥ 5 years our cohort were utilized. As part routine...
Background/aim: Colchicine is the mainstay of treatment in FMF. However, daily practice it not easy to maintain effective colchicine doses a substantial number patients due its side effects. In this study, we aimed investigate prevalence and risk factors for effects that limit optimal drug dosing cause permanent discontinuation. Materials methods: All were recruited from "FMF Central Anatolia" (FiCA) cohort, 915 adults with minimum follow-up time 6 months during which they had obeyed all...
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of sarcopenia and its clinical significance in Turkish women with SLE, exploring association between muscle mass, strength SLE disease activity. Methods A cross-sectional was conducted at Gazi University Hospital’s Department Rheumatology from January December 2020. It involved 82 patients diagnosed according 2019 American College Rheumatology/European Alliance Associations for criteria, 69 healthy controls. Sarcopenia assessed using hand...
Objective We aimed to present our single-center real-life experience of canakinumab use in adult patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). Methods Data were derived from the Gazi FMF cohort, which was established 2010. From that year, all registered. The impact on their lives tracked by either an diary or mobile phone application (FMF-AIDD, free download App Store and Google Play). records who treated reviewed. Results Twenty-three (65% female) enrolled this study. median age 32...
Abstract Background/Aim: Rheumatoid arthritis associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) is a major concern in RA patients and events of ILD have been reported treated with tofacitinib clinical trials the post-marketing setting. The aim this study was to assess real-life efficacy safety RA-ILD. Methods diagnosis based on HRCT images lungs from eight different centers recruited study. As control group, without under included. Demographic data, patients’ characteristics, available pulmonary...
Objective: There are few studies on the assessment of hemophilic arthropathy using hemophilia early detection with ultrasound (HEAD-US) and joint health score (HJHS) scores.This study aimed to examine how radiologists rheumatologists could evaluate in individuals severe HEAD- US HJHS scores simultaneously. Material Methods: Between 2021 2022, 168 joints from 28 A B were investigated at six-month intervals (TP1 TP2). The all patients recorded. HEAD-US each patient's six (elbow, knee, ankle)...
Rheumatoid factor (RF) and anticitrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) are specific for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) diagnosis. However, they could be positive in other diseases even healthy populations. The aim was to investigate the prevalence of RF anti-CCP antibodies persons admitted hospital any reason on a national scale.
Introduction Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with an increased risk of pulmonary infections, as well a rare condition known shrinking lung syndrome (SLS). The diaphragm has important role to play in physiology and might also these adverse events. Here, we aimed investigate whether SLE patients have impairment their diaphragmatic muscle thickness function respect another connective-tissue disease: primary Sjögren’s (pSS). Method Patients diagnosed who were remission or had...
Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic, multisystem disorder that can cause severe morbidity and mortality. Monitoring tools measure activity are required for effective management of BD. We aimed to investigate the association prognostic nutritional index (PNI) with in BD.In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled 88 adult patients BD 51 healthy controls. The were divided into active inactive according their activities. PNI was calculated using following formula: 10×serum albumin...
Sometimes, the underlying causes of inflammation cannot be established despite meticulous investigation, including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and radiologic procedures. Rheumatologists are often faced with patients whose condition is known as unknown origin (IUO). Differential diagnosis IUO diverse, investigation these cases challenging time-consuming.The study aimed to assess diagnostic role positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in...
