Objectives To investigate the relationship of socioeconomic status (SES) on an individual and country level with disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) explore mediating role uptake costly biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) this relationship. Methods Data from a cross-sectional multinational study (COMOrbidities RA) were used. Contribution factors residence to score 28-joint assessment (DAS28) was explored regression models, adjusting for relevant clinical...
To evaluate the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on rheumatology practice.A cross-sectional web survey was designed by members Arab League Associations for Rheumatology (ArLAR), validated its scientific committee and disseminated through e-mail social media. It included close-ended questions about activities, including outpatient visits hospitalizations (in percentage, 100% corresponds to complete suspension) open-ended unmet needs. Univariate multivariable logistic...
To evaluate the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic (COVID-19) on access to rheumatology care for patients with chronic rheumatic diseases (CRD) in Arab countries.A web-based cross-sectional survey was designed by Adult Arthritis Awareness group (AAAA) consisting 16 rheumatologists representing countries from League Associations Rheumatology (ArLAR) and validated ArLAR scientific committee. The disseminated online through social media patients' association channels between May 8 22,...
The aims of the present study were first to detect MCID for WOMAC in a Moroccan population, and second, identify best pre-treatment predictors on change health after treatment by non-specific, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), evaluate whether dependent choice response criterion. involved 173 patients with osteoarthritis whom primary care physicians decided start non-selective NSAIDs. Assessments at admission 6 weeks conducted. In order determine threshold levels associated...
Abstract Background Some studies have implicated several possible metabolic linkages between osteoporosis and vascular calcification, including estrogen deficiency, vitamin D excess, K deficiency lipid oxidation products. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether atherosclerosis are related to each other or independent processes, both aging. The aim of this cross-sectional study was evaluate the correlation arterial thickening bone status in a sample apparently healthy Moroccan women. Methods...
To explore the influence of comorbidities on clinical outcomes and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).In patients included cross-sectional observational multicenter international study COMORA, demographics, characteristics (hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, renal failure, ischemic heart disease, stroke, cancer, gastro-intestinal ulcers, hepatitis, depression, chronic pulmonary obesity) were collected. Multivariable linear regression models explored relationship between each...
The aims of this study are to evaluate vitamin D status in 1413 RA patients COMORA from 15 countries and analyze relationship between patients' characteristics low levels D. All demographic, clinical, biological data comorbidities were completed. results showed that the average serum dosage was 27.3 ng/mL ± 15.1 [0.1-151]. Status insufficient 54.6% deficient 8.5% patients. 43% supplemented with absence supplementation on related higher prevalence deficiency (p < 0.001). Finally, our shows is...
Abstract Objectives COVID-19 vaccines have been proven to be safe in the healthy population. However, gaps remain evidence of their safety patients with systemic autoimmune and inflammatory disorders (SAIDs). vaccination-related adverse events (AEs) SAIDs controls (HC) seven days post-vaccination were assessed COVAD study, a patient self-reported cross-sectional survey. Methods The survey was circulated early 2021 by &gt;110 collaborators (94 countries) collect SAID details, vaccination...
Objective. To describe the treatment profile of multimorbid patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in contrast to RA only. Methods. COMORA (Comorbidities Rheumatoid Arthritis) is a cross-sectional, international study assessing morbidities, outcomes, and RA. Patients were grouped according their multimorbidity assessed by counted index (cMMI). Treatment for was categorized as use biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARD), particular tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi),...
Objectives To investigate patterns in patient-reported and physician-reported disease outcomes patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from countries different level of socioeconomic development. Methods Data a cross-sectional multinational study (COMOrbidities RA) were used. Contribution welfare (gross domestic product (GDP); low vs high) country residence to (tender joint count, swollen count (SJC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate, activity score based on 28 joints assessment (DAS28)-3v...
Several studies have observed an inverse relationship between osteoporosis and spinal osteoarthritis, the latter being considered as possibly delaying development of osteoporosis. The aim this study was to determine association individual radiographic features spine degeneration, bone mineral density (BMD) bone-turn over markers.It a cross sectional 277 post menopausal women. BMD all patients assessed at hip using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Lateral radiographs were evaluated for disc...

Objective. Patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) receiving anti-TNF-α treatment have an increase in fat mass. This may be relevant to cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study was estimate visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) changes by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) patients SpA under therapy. Methods. We used ancillary protocol open, prospective 2-year followup SpA. Waist circumference (WC), body weight, mass index, VAT, SAT were measured at baseline, 6 months, 1...
Abstract Objectives The COVID-19 vaccination in autoimmune diseases (COVAD) study aimed to assess short-term vaccination-related adverse events (AEs) RA patients. Methods An online self-reported questionnaire (March–December 2021) was used capture data related AEs RA, other rheumatic (AIRDs) (excluding and inflammatory myositis), non-rheumatic (nrAIDs) healthy controls (HCs). Descriptive multivariable regression analyses were performed. Results Of the 9462 complete respondents, 14.2% (n =...
Tenosynovitis is widely accepted to be common in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and postulated the first manifestation of RA, but its true prevalence early disease particular hand has not been firmly established. The aims this study were investigate frequency distribution finger flexor tenosynovitis using ultrasound arthritis, second compare clinical examination with (US) latter as gold standard. 33 consecutive patients who had initially diagnosed polyarthritis suspected suspicion inflammatory...
