Beyond unfavorable thinking: the illness cognition questionnaire for chronic diseases
Andrea W M Evers,Floris W. Kraaimaat,Wim van Lankveld,Peter Joseph Jongen,Johannes W G Jacobs,Johannes W. J. Bijlsma +5 more
TL;DR: The results support the reliable and valid assessment of these illness cognitions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis and indicate the maladaptive function of helplessness and the adaptive function of acceptance and perceived benefits for the long-term physical and psychological health of patients with a chronic disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-Dose Prednisone Therapy for Patients with Early Active Rheumatoid Arthritis: Clinical Efficacy, Disease-Modifying Properties, and Side Effects: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial
Amalia A. Van Everdingen,Johannes W G Jacobs,Dirk R. Siewertsz Van Reesema,Johannes W. J. Bijlsma +3 more
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy, disease-modifying properties, and side effects of low-dose glucocorticoids as monotherapy for previously untreated patients with early active rheumatoid arthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Women, men, and rheumatoid arthritis: analyses of disease activity, disease characteristics and treatments in the QUEST-RA study

TL;DR: In this large multinational cohort of patients with RA, RA disease activity measures appear to be worse in women than in men, however, most of the gender differences in RA diseaseactivity may originate from the measures of disease activity rather than from RA diseaseActivity itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-dose prednisone inclusion in a methotrexate-based, tight control strategy for early rheumatoid arthritis: a randomized trial.
Marije F. Bakker,Johannes W G Jacobs,Paco M J Welsing,Suzanne M M Verstappen,Janneke Tekstra,Evelien Ton,Monique A.W. Geurts,Jacobine H. van der Werf,Grietje A. van Albada-Kuipers,Zalima N. Jahangier-de Veen,Maaike J. van der Veen,Catharina M. Verhoef,Floris P J G Lafeber,Johannes W. J. Bijlsma +13 more
TL;DR: Adding low-dose prednisone at the start of a methotrexate-based treatment strategy for tight control in early rheumatoid arthritis increases its effectiveness and improves patient outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pain coping and social support as predictors of long-term functional disability and pain in early rheumatoid arthritis.
Andrea W M Evers,Floris W. Kraaimaat,Rinie Geenen,Johannes W G Jacobs,Johannes W. J. Bijlsma +4 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that pain coping and social support, assessed very early in the disease process, can affect long-term functional disability and pain in RA, and suggest that early interventions focusing on pain-related avoidance factors and social resources for patients at risk may beneficially influence long- term outcomes in RA.
