Objective: To describe the prevalence of sarcopenia in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients aged ≥65 years and identify risk factors associated with sarcopenia. Methods: This is a multicenter, controlled, cross-sectional study 76 RA age- sex-matched healthy controls. Sarcopenia was defined according to revised criteria European Working Group on Older People (EWGSOP2). Whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) performed. Binary regression used assess relationship between sex, age,...
Objective: To describe the frequency of malnutrition in older patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and investigate associated risk factors.

Data were also collected epidemiological inflammatory disease...
Abstract Objectives (1) To evaluate clinical and molecular cardiovascular disease (CVD) signs their relationship with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) features (2) to identify a patient profile susceptible benefit from methotrexate (MTX) and/or apremilast regarding CVD risk. Methods This cross‐sectional study included 100 patients PsA age‐matched healthy donors. In addition, an exploratory cohort of 45 biologically naïve treated for 6 months apremilast, MTX or combined therapy according routine...
Objectives: To evaluate whether the diagnostic delay in patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) is associated poorer short-term outcomes after two years of follow-up. Methods: This was an observational, longitudinal, and prospective study including r-axSpA from national multicentre Spanish REGISPONSER-AS registry. Patients were divided into groups according to mean (<5 years, ≥5 years). Binary logistic regression models adjusted for disease duration constructed used...
Background: This prospective multicenter study developed an integrative clinical and molecular longitudinal in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients to explore changes serologic parameters following anti-TNF therapy (TNF inhibitors, TNFi) built on machine-learning algorithms aimed at the prediction of TNFi response, based profiles RA patients. Methods: A total 104 from two independent cohorts undergoing 29 healthy donors (HD) were enrolled for discovery validation biomarkers. Serum samples...
We analyzed NAD+ metabolism in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), its association disease activity and clinical outcomes of RA, the therapeutic potential pharmacologic boosting.Our study included 253 participants. In first cohort, comprising 153 RA 56 healthy donors, we assessed levels -related gene pathways. 92 inflammatory molecules by proximity extension assay. second 44 starting anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) drugs, evaluated changes their response after 3 months....
Introduction Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a heterogeneous disease that can be represented by radiographic axSpA (r-axSpA) and non-radiographic (nr-axSpA). This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between markers of inflammation bone turnover in r-axSpA patients nr-axSpA patients. Methods A cross-sectional included 29 patients, 10 20 controls matched for age sex. Plasma related remodeling such as human procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), sclerostin, tartrate-resistant...
This study aimed to: 1) analyze the inflammatory profile of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients, identifying clinical phenotypes associated with cardiovascular (CV) risk; 2) evaluate biologic and targeted-synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (b-DMARDs ts-DMARDs': TNFi, IL6Ri, JAKinibs) effects; 3) characterize molecular mechanisms in immune-cell activation endothelial dysfunction. A total 387 RA patients 45 healthy donors were recruited, forming three cohorts: i) 208 established...
Objective: To compare the effect of inflammation on subclinical atherosclerosis using carotid ultrasound in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA). Methods: Cross-sectional study including 347 participants (148 RA, 159 SpA, 40 controls). We measured intima media thickness (cIMT) detection atheromatous plaques ultrasound. recorded disease activity (DAS28-CRP/ASDAS-CRP) traditional cardiovascular risk factors. performed descriptive, bivariate, linear multivariate...
Abstract Background Enthesitis represents one of the most important peripheral musculoskeletal manifestations in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). However, studies specifically evaluating Achilles tendon enthesitis and its impact over time are scarce. The objectives this study were to evaluate Achilles’ found at baseline during physical examination on outcome measures after 2 years follow-up ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods This was an observational prospective conducted...
<h3>Background:</h3> Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a remarkably heterogeneous autoimmune disease whose clinical outcomes with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) remain unpredictable in patients.
