To compare the clinical, demographic, and serologic characteristics treatment of patients diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) from Europe (EU) Latin America (LA).We included 3439 national registries: Spanish Registry Spondyloarthritis (REGISPONSER), Belgian registry (ASPECT), American Spondyloarthropathies (RESPONDIA). We selected diagnosis AS who met modified New York classification criteria. Demographic, disease activity, functional, metrological measurement data were recorded....

Abstract Objectives The need for glucocorticoid-sparing drugs (GCSD) remains an important issue and is unmet in the treatment of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). We therefore aimed to assess effectiveness safety methotrexate (MTX) leflunomide (LEF) daily clinical practice PMR patients from Argentina. Methods A multicentre observational study (medical records review) seen between 2007 2023, who had at least three months follow-up after starting a GCSD, either MTX or LEF, was performed. Results...
In Brief Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the frequency and characteristics peripheral musculoskeletal manifestations in polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), if PMR with synovitis represents a subset more severe disease, examine for clinical laboratory at onset that might later predict rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Patients Methods: diagnosed according 1982 Chuang criteria. followed up between 1990 2002. following during follow considered: synovitis, distal extremity swelling...
Abstract Background Globally, osteoarthritis (OA) is the third condition associated with disability. There still poor treatment in OA but science holds key to finding better treatments and a cure. It essential learn what’s important patients from them implement most effective management. The Patients Task Force, conducted Global Patient Perception Survey (GOAPPS)-the first global survey made by analize quality of life (QoL) & patient perceptions care. goal was collect data on patients’...
Objective. To assess the relationship between work productivity with disease activity, functional capacity, life quality and radiological damage in patients rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods. The study included consecutive employed RA (ACR'87), aged over 18. Demographic, disease-related, work-related variables were determined. reduction of was assessed by WPAI-RA. Results. 90 evaluated, 71% women. Age average is 50 years old, DAS28 4, RAQoL 12. Median SENS 18 HAQ-A 0.87. Mean absenteeism...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, autoimmune disease characterized by joint destruction. Tofacitinib an oral Janus kinase inhibitor for the treatment of RA. This post hoc analysis assessed safety tofacitinib in Latin American (LA) patients with RA versus Rest World (RoW) population.Data were pooled from 14 clinical studies tofacitinib: six Phase 2, 3 and two long-term extension studies. Incidence rates (IRs; events/100 patient-years exposure) calculated events special interest combined...
Analyze disability determinants in a cohort of Argentine patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Consecutive RA, according to ACR'87 criteria, were recruited from 6 rheumatology centers. Demographic and socioeconomic data, family history, comorbid diseases, extra-articular manifestations information about received treatments provided. Disease activity was assessed using Activity Score 28 (DAS 28) the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ)-A used for functional capacity. Hand feet radiographs...
Rheumatoid nodulosis is an entity that describes a particular variant of polyarthritis associated with early manifestations palindromic rheumatism, radiologic subchondral bone cysts, and subcutaneous rheumatoid nodules. This study the clinical, radiologic, histologic, crystallographic, laboratory findings, as well outcome in group 16 patients were followed for period 1-12 years. Six these had aggressive course developed classic erosive polyarticular arthritis, while others continued having...
The blockade of inflammatory mediators produced by biological therapies is associated with an increased risk opportunistic infections, as for example Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT). Given the endemic situation (TB) in some countries and immunosuppression/anergy patients chronic arthritis, we wonder whether it necessary to monitor MT infection after starting treatment. To evaluate frequency tuberculin skin test (TST) conversion its association active TB other disease variables.
