Knee osteoarthritis (OA) has been suggested to increase the risk of falls. Low back pain (LBP) is a potential risk factor for falls in people with knee OA, but this issue has not been addressed adequately in previous studies. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between LBP and falls in people with knee OA in a 12?month period.

First carpometacarpal (CMC1) joint osteoarthritis (OA) is typically understood as part of the disease entity of hand OA. However, CMC1 joint OA often occurs in isolation or is a primary source of symptoms. The aim of the current study was to explore the experiences of New Zealanders with CMC1 joint OA to better understand the unique impact of this condition, ascertain outcomes of importance, and identify treatment targets.

To describe cross?sectional associations between features observed on ultrasound (US) or clinical joint examination and hand symptoms among community?dwelling older adults (n = 519), and to determine whether such associations are independent of age, sex, body mass index, and other imaging features.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with low muscle density due to the accumulation of intramuscular fat. The present study was undertaken to identify predictors of changes in muscle density and to determine whether low muscle density predicted changes in strength and physical function.

It is generally unknown how the attitudes and beliefs of health care professionals (HCPs) might affect the attitudes, beliefs, and medication?taking behavior of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study aims 1) to examine the attitudes, health?related associations (both implicit and explicit), and beliefs of HCPs about conventional disease?modifying antirheumatic drugs, and 2) to assess whether these attitudes, health?related associations, and beliefs of HCPs are associated with those of their patients, with their patients’ medication?taking behavior, and disease activity.

The type 1 and type 2 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) categorization system was recently proposed to validate the patients’ perspective of disease and to capture a more comprehensive spectrum of symptoms. The objective of this study was to characterize the clinical manifestations of SLE subtypes and to determine the correlation between the patient? and physician?reported measures used in the model.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is accelerated in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis (LN). Despite the literature suggesting that renal arteriosclerosis predicts CVD in other glomerulonephritis diseases, arteriosclerosis grading and reporting might be particularly overlooked in LN biopsies. Our objective was to examine the burden of renal arteriosclerosis in LN and to assess whether arteriosclerosis is underreported in LN biopsies.

Southern Norway consists of a homogeneous population of nearly 300,000 inhabitants and is an ideal epidemiologic setting. We aimed to explore potential changes in incidence of giant cell arteritis (GCA) in Southern Norway from 2000–2013, with comparisons of previous reports from the same population cohort from 1987–1994 and 1992–1996, and to investigate the mortality rates of GCA over a period of 14 years.

Fatigue is consistently ranked as one of the most problematic symptoms of systemic sclerosis (SSc), but the impact of fatigue on daily life is not well characterized. The purpose of this study was to examine the contribution of fatigue to deficits in social participation, functioning, and quality of life.

Few studies have examined how workplace support can address work productivity loss among individuals with systemic sclerosis (SSc). The objective was to 1) examine the relationship between unmet workplace support needs and work productivity loss among workers with SSc, and 2) determine whether SSc symptom severity, fatigue, active disease periods, and workplace activity limitations mediate the relationship between unmet workplace support needs and work productivity loss.

Adiposity is prevalent among patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). However, the temporal relation is unclear. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether adiposity and body fat distribution are related to the risk of developing PsA, and whether physical activity could modify the possible risk.

Identifying pseudogout in large data sets is difficult due to its episodic nature and a lack of billing codes specific to this acute subtype of calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) deposition disease. The objective of this study was to evaluate a novel machine learning approach for classifying pseudogout using electronic health record (EHR) data.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic painful condition partly due to alterations in pain modulation by the central nervous system. Multicomponent therapy (MT) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have both been reported as pain modulators in patients with FM. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of rTMS on pain with a combination of MT and rTMS versus MT alone.
