Objective: To evaluate the main outcomes of disease activity and their association with other measures of activity, damage, and quality of life in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) according to time since diagnosis and positivity to antisynthetase autoantibodies (ASAs).
Methods: Cross-sectional multicenter study within the Spanish Myo-Spain registry. Cases were classified as incident (≤ 12 months since diagnosis) and prevalent.
To describe the characteristics of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD), compare their presentation and evolution, and analyse possible complication predictors. Multicenter study. Data were retrieved from a hospital-based study of patients with a diagnosis or suspected diagnosis of sJIA or AOSD according to the responsible physician and followed-up for at least one year.

- - The study aimed to analyze how common visual symptoms are in patients with Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) and what factors might predict these symptoms.
- - Out of 1,636 patients with GCA, 36.6% experienced visual issues, with anterior ischemic optic neuropathy being the most common complication; older age and jaw claudication were identified as risk factors for visual involvement.
- - Conversely, conditions like polymyalgia rheumatica, fever, longer symptom duration, and higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate were associated with a lower risk of experiencing visual symptoms.
Objectives: To describe the methods of the Spanish Registry of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) (Myo-Spain), as well as its strengths and limitations. The main objective of the project is to analyse the evolution and clinical management of a cohort of patients with IIM.
Methods: Observational, longitudinal, ambispective and multicentre study of a cohort of patients with IIM seen in rheumatology units in Spain.
