To develop a consensual definition for the term 'early axial spondyloarthritis-axSpA'-and peripheral spondyloarthritis-pSpA'.
Background Since the publication of 2011 European Alliance Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) recommendations patient research partner (PRP) involvement in rheumatology research, role PRPs has evolved considerably. Therefore, an update was deemed necessary. Methods In accordance with EULAR Standardised Operational Procedures, a task force comprising 13 researchers, 2 health professionals and 10 convened. The process included online meeting, systematic literature review in-person second...
Real-world data regarding rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its association with interstitial lung disease (ILD) is still scarce. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of RA ILD in patients (RAILD) Spain, compare clinical characteristics without using natural language processing (NLP) on electronic health records (EHR). Observational case-control, retrospective multicentre based secondary use unstructured from adult RAILD nine hospitals between 2014 2019. NLP was used extract information...
Abstract Hip fractures (HFx) are associated with a higher morbidity and mortality rates, leading to significant reduction in life quality limitation of patient´s mobility. The present study aimed obtain real-world evidence on the clinical characteristics patients an initial second hip fracture develop predictive model for HFx using artificial intelligence. Electronic health records from one hospital centre Spain January 2011 December 2019 were analysed EHRead® technology, based natural...
Introduction The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) has put forward two key proposals for diagnosing sarcopenia: the EWGSOP1 2010 and EWGSOP2 2019. These are currently most widely used guidelines sarcopenia. However, data prevalence of sarcopenia patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based EWGSOP criteria limited. This study aimed to: (a) establish an elderly Spanish cohort women RA using both criteria; (b) evaluate effectiveness SARC-F questionnaire detecting...
Background/Objectives: Sarcopenia, defined by a loss of muscle mass, strength, and function, is potential comorbidity in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Its prevalence, along with malnutrition, remains unclear. Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed sarcopenia (using the European Working Group on Sarcopenia Older People (EWGSOP-2) criteria), presarcopenia, malnutrition Global Leadership Initiative Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria) Spanish axSpA cohort. We included 94 patients aged ≥ 50...
Objectives: To develop and evaluate a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system integrating European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) American College (ACR) guidelines to provide rheumatologists with timely, evidence-based recommendations at the point care. Methods: EULAR ACR management were selected by according relevance clinical decision making, processed, chunked. A RAG using LangChain framework, voyage-3 embedding model, Qdrant vector database was implemented. Answers...
Abstract Background Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis, pose challenges due to recurrent flares gaps in patient monitoring. Traditional health care models often fail capture disease progression effectively. Objective This study aimed describes the structured cocreation of IMIDoc platform, an interdisciplinary initiative at improving monitoring, education, provider decision-making. Methods was cocreated through team involving clinical...
Fatigue is a debilitating condition commonly reported in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), yet its prevalence and associated factors men remain underexplored. This study investigates the severity of fatigue Spanish over 50 years with RA. A case-control was conducted at university hospital, comprising 84 RA patients (mean age: 71.9 ± 8.5 years) 102 age-matched controls. assessed using FACIT-F scale, together evaluations inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR), disease activity (DAS28, RAPID3), disability...
Objectives To investigate the influence of gender on disease outcomes in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA), including across SpA subtypes. Methods Data from 4185 23 countries a diagnosis axial (axSpA), peripheral (pSpA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) Assessment SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS)-perSpA study were analysed. Associations between and activity (Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS), Bath Ankylosing (BASDAI), C-reactive protein (CRP)), function (Bath...
This study aims to use a novel technology based on natural language processing (NLP) extract clinical information from electronic health records (EHRs) characterise the profile of patients diagnosed with spondyloarthritis (SpA) at large-scale hospital.
Objectives To determine the frequency of sustained remission (R) or low diseas activity (LDA) in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) undergoing long-term biological therapy and to analyse predictive factors for achieving these outcomes. Design Prospective, observational cohort study. Setting Spanish hospital. Participants Patients axSpA who initiated treatment between 2003 2017. Intervention Assessment demographic clinical characteristics at beginning disease every 6 months up a...
Mobile health technology holds great promise for the clinical management of patients with chronic disease. However, evidence on implementation projects involving digital solutions in rheumatology is scarce. We aimed to study feasibility a hybrid (virtual and face-to-face) monitoring strategy personalized care rheumatoid arthritis (RA) spondyloarthritis (SpA). This project included development remote model its assessment. After focus group rheumatologists, relevant concerns regarding RA SpA...
