Herein, in a nation-wide study, we examine trends in the prevalence of various ARD over-time, taking also into account the Covid-19 pandemic. In this retrospective study in the entire Greek adult population (approximately 10.000.000 people), we searched the electronic prescription database of the e-Government Centre for Social Security Services using prespecified ICD-10 codes to capture all adult patients with Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) and Polymyalgia Rheumatica or Giant Cell Arteritis (PMR/GCA). Two sequential 4-year periods, namely 2016-2019 and 2020-2023 were compared. Prevalence of RA, PsA, AxSpA, SLE and SSc increased significantly during 2020-2023 compared to 2016-2019. This applies to both genders and to all age groups for RA, PsA and AxSpA, to female patients in SLE and SSc and to patients 18-39 years in SLE and ≥ 60 years in SSc. Overall, there was 47% increase in prevalence for AxSpA (0.100% in 2016-19 vs 0.147% in 2020-23), 36.5% for PsA (0.148% vs 0.202%), 20.6% for RA (0.467% vs 0.563%), 19% for SLE (0.137% vs 0.163%) and 13% for SSc (0.023% vs 0.026%). A 16.3% decrease was evident in GCA/PMR, limited to those ≥ 40 years old. In a nation-wide study we confirm that ARD prevalence increases over-time, whereas a contribution of Covid-19 pandemic to our results during 2020-2023, cannot be excluded.

Previous studies have revealed racial discrepancies in pain catastrophizing, notably between Hispanics and non-Hispanics while pointing to potential health disparities. Using a conceptual model, this study aimed to investigate racial differences in associations between KOA symptoms with specific pain catastrophizing domains (rumination, magnification, and helplessness). Patients with KOA (n = 253; 147 Hispanics, 106 non-Hispanic Whites) completed a survey that included measures of knee symptoms, pain catastrophizing, and demographic variables. Structural equation modeling revealed that among Hispanics, each pain catastrophizing domain (rumination, magnification, and helplessness) was associated with at least two symptomatic experiences, including pain severity and difficulty in physical function. Specifically, pain severity was associated with (a) rumination: β = 0.48, p < 0.001, (b) magnification: β = 0.31, p = 0.003; and (c) helplessness: β = 0.39, p < 0.001). Additionally, a lower score in physical function was associated with higher magnification (β = 0.26, p = 0.01), and helplessness (β = 0.25, p = 0.01). Among non-Hispanic White patients, pain severity was further associated with two domains of pain catastrophizing, including rumination (β = 0.39, p < 0.001) and helplessness (β = 0.35, p = 0.01).

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to improve patient prognosis. To determine the characteristics of patients with DAH and their mortality in a Spanish cohort of patients with SLE.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Patients from the RELESSER (Spanish Society of Rheumatology Lupus Register) who had had at least one confirmed episode of DAH were included. Epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory characteristics were analyzed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>4024 patients were included in the RELESSER register, 37 (0.9%), had at least one recorded episode of DAH. Only further data for 14 patients could be analyzed. In total, 92.9% were women, and for 4 (28.6%) DAH coincided with the debut of SLE. More than 80% of patients had renal involvement and thrombocytopenia. The most frequent manifestations were dyspnea (85.7%) and hypoxemia (100%), with the classic triad of hemoptysis, anemia and pulmonary infiltrates, appearing in 6 (46.2%) patients. The most frequently used treatments were glucocorticoids (85.7%) and cyclophosphamide (69.2%); plasmapheresis was utilized in 5 patients (35.7%) and 8, (57.1%) received intravenous immunoglobulins; 12 (85.7%) patients required admission to the ICU and 5 (35.7%) died. Tobacco use, history of lupus nephritis (LN), concomitant infection, and treatment with cyclophosphamide were more frequent in patients who died.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>DAH is rare in patients with SLE; in up to one-third of patients, it may appear at the onset of the disease. Some factors, such as smoking, a history of LN, treatment with cyclophosphamide, or concomitant infection, are more prevalent in patients with an unfavorable outcome.</p>","PeriodicalId":21322,"journal":{"name":"Rheumatology International","volume":" ","pages":"2445-2455"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142047121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
