<h3>Objective:</h3> To validate and refine two sets of candidate criteria for the classification/diagnosis axial spondyloarthritis (SpA). <h3>Methods:</h3> All Assessment SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) members were invited to include consecutively new patients with chronic (⩾3 months) back pain unknown origin that began before 45 years age. The first tested in entire cohort 649 from 25 centres, then refined a random selection 40% cases thereafter validated remaining 60%....
Distinguishing true cellulitis from its many imitators is challenging but critical if we are to avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics and delays in treatment. Common stasis dermatitis, lipodermatosclerosis, contact lymphedema, eosinophilic cellulitis, papular urticaria. Specific criteria do not exist for the diagnosis alert physician can find clues history physical examination that point toward cellulitis.
<h3>Background</h3> Increased risk of some comorbidities has been reported in spondyloarthritis (SpA). Recommendations for detection/management these have proposed, and it is known that a gap exists between their implementation practice. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate (1) the prevalence factors different countries worldwide, (2) available recommendations daily practice management (3) previously unknown detected as result present initiative. <h3>Methods</h3> Cross-sectional international...
To evaluate construct validity, interpretability, reliability and responsiveness as well determination of cut-off points for good poor health within the original English version 18 translations disease-specific Assessment Spondyloarthritis international Society Health Index (ASAS HI) in 23 countries worldwide patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA).A representative sample SpA fulfilling ASAS classification criteria axial (axSpA) or peripheral was used. The validity HI tested using Spearman...
Objectives To characterise peripheral musculoskeletal involvement in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) including psoriatic arthritis (PsA), across the world. Methods Cross-sectional study 24 participating countries. Patients a diagnosis of axial SpA (axSpA), (pSpA) or PsA according to their rheumatologist were included. The investigators asked which out list six (axSpA, PsA, pSpA, inflammatory bowel disease-associated SpA, reactive juvenile (Juv-SpA)) fitted patient best. Peripheral...
China has a large population; however, medical resources are unevenly distributed and extremely limited, more services needed. With the development ever-increasing popularity of mobile internet communication, created mode health (mHealth) care to resolve this problem.The aim study was (1) describe problems associated with China's practice, (2) explore need for feasibility internet-based in China, (3) analyze functionality offered by platforms management chronic diseases.Data search performed...
Abstract Background With increasing life expectancy in China, no large population-based studies have been done on the trend for musculoskeletal disorders China. We investigated pattern and of five major China from Global Burden Disease Study 2017 its association with sociodemographic index (SDI). Methods The main outcome measures were incidence, prevalence, disability-adjusted years (DALYs) rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, low back pain, neck gout. Average annual percent change (AAPC)...
This study aimed to compare whether differences in lifestyle and dietary habits have an impact on hyperuricemia provide a reliable basis for the health management of citizens our city. A total 10,883 subjects who did not suffer from hyperuricemia, was anticipated this 2018. After 2 years follow-up, 7727 3156 suffered hyperuricemia. Dietary were collected by questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression used identify risk factors For analysis amount change uric acid (UA) before after years,...
Abstract Objective To investigate the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) in spondylarthropathy (SpA) synovitis. Methods Paired samples synovial biopsy as well serum fluid (SF) from 41 patients with SpA 20 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) healthy controls were analyzed by immunohistochemistry enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay for presence MMPs 1, 2, 3, 9 TIMPs 1 2. In addition, sera 16 ankylosing spondylitis (AS) peripheral synovitis 17 AS exclusively axial...
Efficacy of adalimumab for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has been established Western populations but not in the Chinese population. This study is first to evaluate efficacy and safety patients with AS.Chinese adults active AS who had an inadequate response or were intolerant ≥1 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs randomised 40 mg (N=229) matching placebo (N=115) subcutaneously every other week (EOW) 12 weeks, followed by a 12-week open-label EOW phase. The primary endpoint was percentage...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a key role in the regulation of almost all physiological and pathological processes, including bone metabolism. Recent studies have suggested that miR-27 might osteoblast differentiation formation. Increasing evidence indicates canonical Wnt signaling pathway contributes to different stages In this study, we identify miR-27a can promote by repressing new target, secreted frizzled-related proteins 1 (sFRP1) expression at transcriptional level. Here, 21 candidate...
Introduction In a previous phase, 12 draft definitions for clinically important worsening in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) were selected, of which 3 based on absolute changes Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS)-CRP (ASDAS). The objective here was to select the best cut-off ASDAS axSpA use clinical trials and observational studies. Methods An international longitudinal prospective study evaluating stable patients with conducted. Data necessary calculate collected at two...
