Early Diagnosis of Axial Spondyloarthritis Is Associated With Less Long‐Term Spinal Structural Damage: A Longitudinal Analysis of the Swiss Clinical Quality Management in Rheumatic Diseases Registry

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society recently defined early axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) as a duration of two years or less of axial symptoms. Previous studies have shown no significant difference in short‐term outcomes between patients with early and established axSpA treated with biologic/targeted synthetic disease ...

Plasma Proteomics Identifies Molecular Signatures and Biomarkers Associated With High Structural Damage in Ankylosing Spondylitis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Pathologic bone formation in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is not fully reflected by systemic inflammation, limiting the utility of markers of inflammation for structural damage assessment. This study aimed to identify plasma protein signatures associated with structural damage severity in AS.

Genetically predicted ankylosing spondylitis increases the risk of heart failure: a Mendelian randomization study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundObservational studies have indicated a potential association between ankylosing spondylitis and elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, it remains uncertain whether this association reflects a causal association.

Outcomes of Tapering Biologic and Targeted Synthetic Disease‐Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Multicenter Randomized Noninferiority Trial

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Evidence supporting tapering of biologic or targeted synthetic disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARDs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with sustained low disease activity (LDA) remains limited. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of a structured b/tsDMARD‐tapering strategy in patients with RA who had achieved sustained ...
