Article Synopsis
- - The French Society of Rheumatology and the French Society of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation aimed to create recommendations for non-drug treatments for knee osteoarthritis due to their inadequate consideration in care.
- - A systematic review of literature was conducted, followed by discussions among experts to draft and evaluate a list of recommendations for managing knee OA non-pharmacologically.
- - Five key principles were established, emphasizing a combination of treatments, personalized management, adherence, appropriate exercise, and education, alongside specific recommendations for 11 modalities like braces, physical therapy, and weight loss.
Objectives: Biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) are prescribed sequentially in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Healthcare decision makers continue to debate their use, mainly because of their high costs. Our aim was to perform an economic evaluation for France of bDMARD sequences for treatment of moderate-to-severe RA after inadequate response or intolerance to conventional DMARDs (eg, methotrexate).

Methods: Systematic literature search, on eight databases to January 2017, sought ACR and EULAR data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of boDMARDs / bsDMARDs (in combination with csDMARDs, or monotherapy). Two adult populations: methotrexate (MTX)-naïve patients with severe active RA; and csDMARD-experienced patients with moderate-to-severe active RA.
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of baseline abnormalities in standard laboratory tests in patients with early arthritis and their impact on selection of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs according to American College of Rheumatology (ACR) recommendations and/or of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Methods: In three cohorts of patients with early arthritis (the ESPOIR, VErA, and Brittany cohorts), we evaluated the prevalence of anemia (hemoglobin <1 3 g/dL in men and 12 g/dL in women), leukopenia (<3500 per mm(3)), thrombocytopenia (<150000 per mm(3)), renal dysfunction (mild, creatinine clearance [CrCl]=60-89.9 mL/min; moderate, CrCl=30-59.
