Stefan Bergman,Per Herrström,Kristina Högström,Ingemar F Petersson,Björn Svensson,Lennart T. H. Jacobsson +5 more
TL;DR: Sociodemographic variables were overall more frequently and strongly associated with CWP than with CRP, which indicates different pathophysiology in the development or preservation of pain in the 2 groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing disability in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Use of a Swedish version of the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire.
TL;DR: The translated and somewhat modified version of the ADL questionnaire studied here appears to possess a high degree of reliability and validity in assessing patients with RA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Low‐dose prednisolone in addition to the initial disease‐modifying antirheumatic drug in patients with early active rheumatoid arthritis reduces joint destruction and increases the remission rate: A two‐year randomized trial
Björn Svensson,Annelies Boonen,Kristina Albertsson,Désirée van der Heijde,Catharina Keller,Ingiäld Hafström +5 more
TL;DR: Prednisolone at 7.5 mg/day added to the initial DMARD retarded the progression of radiographic damage after 2 years in patients with early RA, provided a high remission rate, and was well tolerated; therefore, the data support the use of low-dose prednisolones as an adjunct to DMARDs in early active RA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiographic osteoarthritis of the knee classified by the Ahlbäck and Kellgren & Lawrence systems for the tibiofemoral joint in people aged 35–54 years with chronic knee pain
TL;DR: The prevalence of radiographic tibiofemoral OA combined with chronic knee pain in people aged 35–54 years was around 1% as estimated by either the Kellgren & Lawrence or the Ahlbäck classifications systems.
