An international, expert-led consensus initiative to develop systematic, evidence-based recommendations for the treatment of noninfectious uveitis in era biologics.The availability biologic agents human eye disease has altered practice patterns management uveitis. Current guidelines are insufficient assure optimal use noncorticosteroid systemic immunomodulatory agents.An international expert steering committee comprising 9 specialists (including both ophthalmologists and rheumatologists)...
To assess the effect of gastrointestinal (GI) manifestation on quality life in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc).The University California, Los Angeles Scleroderma Clinical Trial Consortium Gastrointestinal Tract 2 questionnaire was completed by 87 consecutive SSc attending scleroderma clinic at a single center. Their clinical features and current therapies were recorded; 100 rheumatologic disorders other than used as controls. Individual scores compared between controls, subgroups.Of...
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...
Introduction Medication non-adherence is an important cause of treatment failure among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Depression a common neuropsychiatric disorder associated SLE. The aims this study are to assess the prevalence both medication and depressed mood Saudi SLE by using validated tools explore impact depressive symptoms disease activity on non-adherence. Methods A cross-sectional was conducted in outpatients assessed Morisky Adherence Scale, severity evaluated...
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...
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) are a heterogeneous group of rare, autoimmune conditions characterized by widespread, multisystemic inflammation small to medium-sized blood vessels. We present case report 46-year-old male with history prior ischemic strokes and recurrent bilateral non-granulomatous panuveitis associated strongly positive anti-neutrophil (c-ANCA) titer. Initial treatment steroids, methotrexate, rituximab were ineffective, but the...
BACKGROUND Multiple autoimmune syndromes are caused by immune dysregulation pathways and shared genetic polymorphisms, resulting in the coexistence of multiple disorders. Systemic sclerosis (SSc) systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) connective tissue diseases with distinct pathogenesis. Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated small intestine pathology. Previous case reports have documented SLE CD, SSc (overlap syndrome). CASE REPORT A 21-year-old woman juvenile interstitial lung was admitted...
Medication preferences and associated challenges remain unexplored in Saudi patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). To explore the perceptions, beliefs experiences of RA regarding disease its treatment Arabia. Three focus groups were created Riyadh, Arabia through purposeful sampling. Discussions recorded transcribed. Subsequently, thematic analysis was performed. The included women, aged 35-50 years (n=6), men (n=4) women above 50 (n=5). identified themes stress losing a loved one as...
It has been hypothesized that adaptation of health practice guidelines to the local setting is expected improve their uptake and implementation while cutting on required resources. We recently adapted published American College Rheumatology (ACR) Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) treatment guideline Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). The objective this paper describe process used for 2015 ACR RA EMR. GRADE-Adolopment methodology process. in detail how adolopment enhanced efficiency following steps...
Though biologic agents have significantly improved the treatment of inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic and axial spondyloarthritis), high costs, stringent regulations, strict reimbursement criteria, existing patents limited patient access to treatments. While being highly similar in quality, safety, efficacy reference products, biosimilars can reduce financial burden prevent underutilization medication. The objective this initiative was develop an evidence-based...
Background: Fibromyalgia (FM), a complex neurological disorder, has multiple consequences for the patient. To diagnose patients, healthcare practitioners use diagnostic questionnaires. However, Arabic translated or validated tools are lacking. This study aimed to translate and validate Rapid Screening Tool (FiRST) into language. Methods: Forward backward translations of FiRST were conducted by two translators English-certified translators. The survey was piloted (n = 5) subjected cognitive...
The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is unexplored among Saudi rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. aim this study was to estimate the prevalence types CAM used patients with RA factors associated their use.A cross-sectional conducted at rheumatology clinics in two tertiary hospitals located Riyadh, Arabia. data collected between May 2017 February 2018. Unpaired Student's t-tests, Chi-square tests, Pearson correlation tests were compare users vs nonusers.A total 438 (mean...
Abstract Abatacept, an inhibitor of CD28 mediated T-cell activation, has been shown to be effective in controlling inflammation during rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, its effects on immune regulatory B and T cells (Bregs Tregs) not fully explored. Thirty-one RA patients treated with abatacept for ≥ 6 months along 31 other modalities as well 30 healthy controls were recruited. Of these 62 patient, 49 (79%) females a mean age 54 ± 12 years disease duration 10 years. The blood levels Tregs...
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.
To explore the quality of life (QoL) patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and factors affecting it.
The aim of the present study, is to investigate influence obesity, with and without polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), on levels kisspeptin, vitamin D (Vit D), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) explore relationship between these parameters endocrine metabolic variables. study group included 126 obese Saudi females. Of 63 were suffering from PCOS while rest normo-ovulatory women (non-PCOS obese). In PCOS, VEGF was almost four times as high in non-PCOS obese, kisspeptin Vit did not...
