Guidelines for the Management of Rheumatoid Arthritis 2002 Update
TLDR
The guideline reviewed in this month's column describes the recommended care of patients who have been previously diagnosed with RA.Abstract:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a progressive polyarthritis that is responsible for over nine million office visits annually. It is likely that most nurse practitioners will care for one or more patients with RA because approximately 1% of the adult population is affected by this disabling disorder. The guideline reviewed in this month's column describes the recommended care of patients who have been previously diagnosed with RA.read more

The Association Between Yoga Use, Physical Function, and Employment in Adults With Rheumatoid Arthritis.
TL;DR: In adults with RA, yoga participation is associated with full-time work status and better physical function than nonparticipation, and yoga participants were significantly more likely to work full- time, less likely to be unable to work due to disability, and had betterPhysical function.

TL;DR: The revised criteria for the classification of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were formulated from a computerized analysis of 262 contemporary, consecutively studied patients with RA and 262 control subjects with rheumatic diseases other than RA (non-RA).

Measurement of patient outcome in arthritis.
TL;DR: A structure for representation of patient outcome is presented, together with a method for outcome measurement and validation of the technique in rheumatoid arthritis, and these techniques appear extremely useful for evaluation of long term outcome of patients with rheumatic diseases.

TL;DR: In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, treatment with rofecoxib, a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2, is associated with significantly fewer clinically important upper gastrointestinal events than treatment with naproxen, a nonselective inhibitor.

TL;DR: In this study, celecoxib, at dosages greater than those indicated clinically, was associated with a lower incidence of symptomatic ulcers and ulcer complications combined, as well as other clinically important toxic effects, compared with NSAIDs at standard dosages.
