Trends in Dermatopolymyositis Mortality, 1999–2022: A Nationwide Population‐Based Study, United States

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
We report the national burden of dermatopolymyositis mortality over the past quarter century using the US national vital statistics data. Age‐standardized mortality rates for dermatopolymyositis decreased at an annual rate of 3.8% each year, which was higher than the annual percent decrease for deaths from all other causes.

Diagnostic Value of Muscle [11C] PIB-PET in Inclusion Body Myositis

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Background: The accumulation of multiple-protein aggregates within muscle fibers is a pathological hallmark of sporadic inclusion body myositis (s-IBM) with the presence of inclusion bodies. Amyloid-beta is one of the accumulated proteins in s-IBM.

Heterogeneity of Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease by Longitudinal Forced Vital Capacity Trajectory and Associations With Disease Outcomes

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to identify unique disease trajectories within rheumatoid arthritis–associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD) based on longitudinal forced vital capacity (FVC) values and their associated clinical outcomes. Methods We performed a cohort study of RA‐ILD within the Veterans Health Administration from 1999 to 2021.

Prevalence, Determinants, and Outcomes of Low Disease Activity and Remission Attainment in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus That Is Clinically Active

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aimed to identify in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with clinically active disease the attainment of frequency and determinants of Lupus Low Disease Activity State (LLDAS) and Definition of Remission in SLE (DORIS) and the frequency and determinants of flare and damage accrual after target attainment.
