Mashup Score: 26Running is acceptable and efficacious in adults with non-specific chronic low back pain: the ASTEROID randomised controlled trial - 4 day(s) ago
Objectives Running is one of the most accessible forms of exercise, yet its suitability for adults with chronic low back pain (LBP) is unknown. This study assessed the efficacy and acceptability of running in adults with chronic LBP. Methods This two-arm parallel (1:1) individually randomised controlled trial allocated 40 participants (mean (SD) age: 33 (6) years, female: 50%) with non-specific chronic LBP to a 12-week intervention or waitlist control. The intervention was a progressive run–walk interval programme comprising three 30-min sessions per week that were digitally delivered and remotely supported by an exercise physiologist. Efficacy outcomes were self-reported pain intensity (100-point visual analogue scale) and disability (Oswestry Disability Index). Acceptability outcomes were attrition, adherence and adverse events. Results At 12-week follow-up, the intervention improved average pain intensity (mean net difference (95% CI): −15.30 (–25.33, –5.27) points, p=0.003), curren

Mashup Score: 165The Relevance of a Positive ANA in New Patient Referrals to Rheumatology - ACR Meeting Abstracts - 5 day(s) ago
Background/Purpose: A positive (+)ANA titer is a common reason for Rheumatology consultation, yet the ANA is a nonspecific, non-diagnostic, lab test that is positive in up to 20% of the general population. The goal of this study is to show the low frequency of ANA associated autoimmune diseases (AD) in patients referred for a +ANA, and that low titer ANA are not helpful in diagnosing AD. Methods: This was […]

Background/Purpose: Weight loss is conditionally recommended for gout management; however, the magnitude of the effect of weight loss on incident gout and recurrent gout flares among overweight and obese individuals remains unknown. We aimed to examine the relation of the rate of weight loss induced by anti-obesity medications to the risk of incident gout and […]

Mashup Score: 5Fast-tracking Axial Spondyloarthritis Diagnosis: A Novel Approach to Public Health Advocacy and Awareness - ACR Meeting Abstracts - 5 day(s) ago
Background/Purpose: The Act on Axial SpA campaign is dedicated to minimising the lengthy 8.5-year delay in diagnosing axial spondyloarthritis (axial SpA) by implementing a pioneering Gold Standard diagnosis time of just one year. Collaborating with the Belfast Health & Social Care Trust, our initiative aims to streamline the patient journey from symptom onset to diagnosis […]

Background/Purpose: The anti-Jo1 autoantibody (aJo1), targeting the histidyl-tRNA synthetase (HisRS) protein, is the most common diagnostic biomarker of the anti-synthetase syndrome (ASSD). So far, conflicting evidence supports the need of monitoring aJo1 levels over the disease course. The aim of this study was to analyze longitudinal levels of aJo1 in aJo1 positive patients with ASSD, […]

Background/Purpose: Currently, prevention possibilities of developing ACPA-negative rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are unknown. Studying this is challenging because many ACPA-negative at-risk individuals have low risk of RA; this predominance can conceal treatment effects in prevention trials. The TREAT EARLIER-trial included participants with ACPA-negative clinically suspect arthralgia (CSA). We hypothesized that studying efficacy in ACPA-negative CSA requires […]

Mashup Score: 16
Background/Purpose: It is standard practice to advocate for weight loss in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and obesity. Obesity and rheumatoid arthritis are both independently associated with cardiovascular disease. In addition, evidence suggests that obese RA patients are less likely to achieve remission and that weight loss may improve disease activity outcomes. Semaglutide and tirzepatide, […]

Mashup Score: 15Effect of Physical Activity on Mortality in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Dose-Response Analysis - ACR Meeting Abstracts - 7 day(s) ago
Background/Purpose: Patients with Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) tend to perform less physical activity compared to the recommended guidelines. The long-term effects of physical activity on mortality and cardiorenal events are not well understood. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between physical activity and the risk of mortality in individuals with RA, along […]
