The proportion of patients meeting each item of the 1990 ACR criteria and the 2022 ACR/EULAR criteria were assessed. fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), and temporal artery biopsy were performed in eight, and four of the nine patients, respectively.Results: The median age was 65.0 years, and 77.8% of the patients were women. Seven (77.8%) patients had polymyalgia rheumatica. All nine patients were reclassified as having GCA according to the 2022 ACR/EULAR criteria. Among the 10 items of the 2022 ACR/EULAR criteria, the item contributing the most to the reclassification was elevated acute-phase reactant levels (100%), followed by new temporal headache (77.8%), and FDG-PET activity throughout the aorta (77.5%). Positive temporal artery biopsy findings were observed in 75.0% of the patients; however, only four patients underwent biopsy, which was insufficient to assess its efficacy. An item of sudden visual loss did not make a considerable contribution to the reclassification of GCA because of its rare frequency (11.1%).Conclusion: In this study, for the first time, we demonstrated a concordance rate of 100% between the two criteria in Korean patients previously diagnosed with GCA. Moreover, we also clarified the major contributors to the reclassification according to the 2022 ACR/EULAR criteria.","PeriodicalId":18705,"journal":{"name":"Modern Rheumatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142951781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients with difficult-to-treat RA (D2T-RA) were defined as those with a history of using ≥2 biological/targeted synthetic (b/ts) disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARDs) who had moderate or high disease activity. Among 486 patients, 101 were classified into the probable sarcopenia group (SARC-F ≥4), and 385 were classified into the non-probable sarcopenia group (SARC-F <4). Factors associated with probable sarcopenia were examined using multiple logistic regression analysis. Additionally, patients were divided into the D2T-RA (n = 38) and non-D2T-RA (n = 448) groups, and the proportion of probable sarcopenia and RA treatment status were compared.Results: Factors associated with probable sarcopenia included age [adjusted odds ratio (OR): 1.03], body mass index (OR: 1.16), D2T-RA (OR: 3.39), and Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (OR: 1.38), and diabetes mellitus (OR: 2.77). The proportion of probable sarcopenia was significantly higher (60.5% vs. 17.4%), and the rate of methotrexate use was significantly lower (34.2% vs. 64.1%), in the D2T-RA group than in the non-D2T-RA group. Moreover, in the D2T-RA group, most patients used two or three b/tsDMARDs (two: 68.4%, three: 21.1%).Conclusions: D2T-RA was associated with probable sarcopenia. Tight control by treatment enhancement may help overcome sarcopenia.","PeriodicalId":18705,"journal":{"name":"Modern Rheumatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142951780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a direct comparison between the impact of allopurinol and those of febuxostat on long-term kidney function among this population is lacking.Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study with a new-user, active-comparator design among patients with eGFR within the reference range and no proteinuria. The primary outcome was a composite incidence of significant eGFR decline (≥ 40% decline from baseline) and all-cause death at 5 years. Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated using Cox's proportional hazard models with inverse probability of treatment and censoring weighting.Results: We analyzed 1,142 patients (287 with allopurinol and 855 with febuxostat). The adjusted HRs (95% confidence intervals) for allopurinol initiators compared to febuxostat initiators for the composite outcome at 5 years were 0.84 (0.74-0.95).

The Canada-Denmark scores were greater in axSpA patients, AS in particular. Furthermore, lumbar posterior lesions can distinguish AS, nr-axSpA, and LDH. Besides, lumbar posterior lesions were positively related to the similar MRI changes in their adjacent structures, but were inversely associated with the other abnormalities.Conclusions: Lumbar posterior lesions were more serious in axSpA patients.
