Using data from the CADERA trial, researchers performed a myocardial perfusion analysis among patients with early, untreated rheumatoid arthritis and healthy individuals.
Researchers studied the variables that were used by rheumatologists during teleconsultation for rheumatoid arthritis in the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Researchers studied the effect of pirfenidone on the progression of lung disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease.
Using data from the NORD-STAR trial, researchers studied sex differences with regard to remission rates among patients with early RA receiving biologic vs conventional therapy.
Researchers studied the prevalence of sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, and short sleep, among patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
The real-world effectiveness of different second-line therapies – TNFi, abatacept, IL-6 inhibitors, and JAK inhibitors – were compared in an observational cohort study.
Researchers evaluated the risk for incident dementia associated with biologic or synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) vs conventional synthetic DMARDs in rheumatoid arthritis.
Researchers examined the prevalence of side effects with methotrexate and tumor necrosis factor inhibitors in psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Researchers evaluated either early intervention with methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis could prevent the development of clinical arthritis or reduce disease burden.
![Single nucleotide polymorphism has been identified as predictive of methotrexate response; nonresponse was associated with genetic polymorphism among SLC22A11 and ABCC1 carriers. [5] Similar variations in response associated with genetic polymorphism have been reported for other RA therapies, including variation in toxicity to azathioprine, allopurinol hypersensitivity, and variability of tacrolimus pharmacokinetics.](https://www.rheumatologyadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2019/01/thinkstockphotos53668801671_1010925.jpg)
