Background: Musculoskeletal joint complaints (MSCs) are the most common extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We aimed to investigate the effect of MSC on the health-related quality of life (QoL) in patients with IBD.
Design: A survey-based cross-sectional study among adult Dutch IBD patients.
Article Synopsis
- There is a need for a standardized method to measure disease activity in patients with psoriatic arthritis, leading to the development of the 3-item Visual Analogue Scale (3VAS) and 4-item Visual Analogue Scale (4VAS).
- A study involving 629 patients was conducted to assess the validity and responsiveness of these scales compared to other established measures, revealing significant correlations and responsiveness similar to existing standards.
- The findings suggest both scales perform well in identifying disease activity, with the 4VAS potentially being the better option due to its improved face validity.
Objective: To assess the cost-utility from healthcare and societal perspectives of the digital CaFaSpA referral strategy (CS) for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in primary care patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
Method: A cluster randomized controlled trial was performed in the Netherlands. General practice units were randomized into CS or usual care (UC).
Hepatotoxicity is a serious adverse drug reaction related to methotrexate (MTX). However, the cause of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is still unclear and unpredictable. Genetic risk factors may predispose for MTX-DILI.

And more specifically, to analyze whether there is an effect of the introduction of the ASAS and CASPAR classification criteria for axSpA and PsA. We systematically searched Embase, Medline Ovid, Cochrane Central and Web of Science from database inception to November 2022.
