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.

A computerized tool for the systematic visual quality assessment of infant multiple-breath washout measurements

Frontiers in Pediatrics
BackgroundMultiple-breath washout (MBW) is a sensitive method for assessing lung volumes and ventilation inhomogeneity in infants, but remains prone to artefacts (e.g., sighs).

[Pulmonary function test: The testing of children].

Revue des maladies respiratoires
In paediatrics, the pulmonary function test (PFT) is most often performed to support the diagnosis or in follow-up of asthma patients. Whatever the pathology responsible for respiratory symptoms and/or functional impairment, repeated PFTs make it possible to establish a prognosis (pulmonary function trajectories…) and to orient preventive interventions.

Virtual or In‐Person: Does It Matter? Comparing Pain, Function, Quality of Life, Self‐Efficacy, and Physical Function Outcomes of Virtual, Hybrid, and In‐Person Education and Exercise Program Participants

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aimed to determine if program format (in‐person, virtual, or hybrid) results in differences in 3‐month outcomes of pain, function, quality of life, self‐efficacy, and chair stands in a hip/knee osteoarthritis‐management program. Methods A secondary analysis of the Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark (GLA:D) Canada database was

Adipokines and Associations With Incident Osteoporotic Fracture in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We assessed whether circulating adipokines are associated with incident fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Three adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, and fibroblast growth factor [FGF]‐21) were measured using banked enrollment serum from participants in a longitudinal RA cohort.

Clinical Outcomes of Patients Within the Rheumatoid Arthritis Care Pathway Cohort at a Tertiary Care Integrated Delivery Network: A Comparison to Usual Care

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to compare clinical outcomes between patients in the Allegheny Health Network rheumatoid arthritis (RA) care pathway and patients receiving usual care. Methods The care pathway initiative implements guideline‐based best practice alongside multidisciplinary team‐based care.

Rethinking Strategies for a Pharmaceutical Approach to Pain Related to Connective Tissue–Related Raynaud Phenomenon in the United States

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective There are no US Food and Drug Administration–approved therapies for Raynaud phenomenon (RP) in the United States. Clinical trials have been challenged by study design. Important advances in RP patient‐reported outcome measures and mechanistic quantification allow RP‐related pain characterization.
