Objectives. To compare the prevalence of and predictors for sustained drug-free remission in two cohorts patients with recent-onset RA treated DAS-driven therapy or non-DAS-driven therapy. Methods. Sustained was assessed after 5 years follow-up 508 (DAS ≤ 2.4) a randomized treatment cohort, 424 who received prospective inception cohort. The design cohort required systematic joint assessments restart Predictors were identified by univariable multivariable logistic regression each separately...
Objective. To determine the prevalence of large-joint damage and association with small-joint in patients RA after 8 years low DAS (≤2.4)-targeted treatment different strategies. Methods. Radiological data 290 participating BeSt study, a randomized trial comparing initial monotherapy combination therapy strategies, were used. Radiographs large joints scored using Larsen score small Sharp–van der Heijde score. With multivariate logistic regression analysis, an between total was investigated....
OBJECTIVE--To study the possible association of purine enzyme activities with response to azathioprine (AZA) treatment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and their correlation parameters disease activity. PATIENTS AND METHODS--Lymphocyte hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl-transferase (HGPRT), adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT), nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) 59-nucleotidase (5NT), erythrocyte thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) were measured 14 healthy controls 36 patients RA. Eight had not...
High-grade glioma (HGG) is a devastating illness. Our study aimed to investigate outcomes for patients with HGG treated in Christchurch focussing particularly on those diagnosed glioblastoma mulitforme (GBM); compare GBM survival international standards; examine factors associated better prognosis; and assess the involvement of various allied health disciplines.A 10-year retrospective who were at Hospital. Kaplan-Meier method was used estimate survival. Predefined multivariate analysis...
OBJECTIVE: Purine enzyme activities may predict the effectiveness of azathioprine treatment and be associated with increased deaths from infectious diseases. In rheumatoid arthritis, patients show variable responses to a higher percentage death is caused by infections. The aim study was investigate possible arthritis abnormalities purine measuring several these enzymes in recent onset before disease modifying antirheumatic drugs or prednisone. METHODS: 23 28 healthy controls were studied....
Metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) can be debilitating and painful carries a poor prognosis. There is increasing evidence that MSCC treated with single-fraction radiotherapy. The Rades score designed to assist in identifying better prognosis patients who may benefit from longer radiotherapy courses. This study aims patterns of care for at single center New Zealand, assess the other variables as predictors survival.An audit receiving palliative over 5- year period (2010-2014) was...
