Variables from the medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and radiographs were used to develop sets of criteria that serve different investigative purposes and these proposed criteria utilize classification trees, or algorithms.
Abstract
For the purposes of classification, it should be specified whether osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is of unknown origin (idiopathic, primary) or is related to a known medical condition or event (secondary). Clinical criteria for the classification of idiopathic OA of the knee were developed through a multicenter study group. Comparison diagnoses included rheumatoid arthritis and other painful conditions of the knee, exclusive of referred or para-articular pain. Variables from the medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and radiographs were used to develop sets of criteria that serve different investigative purposes. In contrast to prior criteria, these proposed criteria utilize classification trees, or algorithms.

The Risk of Major NSAID Toxicity with Celecoxib, Ibuprofen, or Naproxen: A Secondary Analysis of the PRECISION Trial.

TL;DR: A post hoc analysis of a double-blind, randomized, controlled, multicenter trial enrolling 24,081 patients with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis at moderate or high cardiovascular risk found that patients using naproxen or ibuprofen experienced significantly higher risk of major toxicity than those using celecoxib.

Expression and Tissue Localization of Membrane-Types 1, 2, and 3 Matrix Metalloproteinases in Rheumatoid Synovium

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that MT1-MMP plays an important role in the activation of proMMP-2 in the rheumatoid synovial lining cell layer, and suggest that its activity may be involved in the cartilage destruction of r heumatoid arthritis.

Detection of T cell responses to a ubiquitous cellular protein in autoimmune disease

TL;DR: T cells that mediate autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis are difficult to characterize because they are likely to be deleted or inactivated in the thymus if the self antigens they recognize are ubiquitously expressed, but one way to obtain and analyze these autoimmune T cells is to alter T cell receptor (TCR) signaling in developing T cells to change their sensitivity toThymic negative selection, thereby allowing their thymic production.
