Journal ArticleDOI

Treatment of gout patients with impairment of renal function: a systematic literature review.

TL;DR: In gout patients with renal insufficiency febuxostat, rasburicase, benzbromarone, and allopurinol + benzbomarone seemed to be effective and safe; allopURinol may be cautiously titrated until the target uric acid level has been reached, and may improve renal function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Existing joint erosions increase the risk of joint space narrowing independently of clinical synovitis in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: Existing JE predisposes individual joints to development of JSN independently of synovitis in the same joint, and treatment with ADA + MTX prevents JE/JSN progression independently of its ability to suppresssynovitis and limits JE-JSN onset and progression in joints with existing damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Facet joint ankylosis in r-axSpA: detection and 2-year progression on whole spine low-dose CT and comparison with syndesmophyte progression

TL;DR: Assessing facet joints in addition to syndesmophytes detected substantially more patients with damage progression over two years than previous studies evaluating facet joints by ldCT in r-axSpA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hierarchy of Impairment of Spinal Mobility Measures in Ankylosing Spondylitis: Twelve-Year Data

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated which spinal mobility measures (SMMs) are most frequently impaired in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and whether assessing fewer measures sufficiently captures impairment in spinal mobility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uncovering the heterogeneity of disease impact in axial spondyloarthritis: bivariate trajectories of disease activity and quality of life

TL;DR: The profiles revealed that both individual-related and disease-related features define the type of disease course in respect to HRQoL and disease activity in axSpA, and may provide clinicians insight into the differences among patients and help in the management of the disease.
