Article Synopsis
  • Patients in general wards face a risk of deterioration, and tools for early detection, like remote patient monitoring (RPM), can help healthcare providers intervene promptly.
  • This study evaluated a new wearable RPM device in a large medical center to see if it could provide timely alerts for patients at high risk of deterioration.
  • Out of 410 patients recruited, 217 were analyzed, showing that the RPM device's scoring system effectively alerted medical staff about impending clinical deterioration in the majority of cases before it occurred.*

However, a detailed FJ evaluation over the whole spectrum of AxSpA was not performed. We aimed to analyze structural lesions in the FJ of patients with different forms of AxSpA, using computed tomography (CT).

Objective: There is an unmet need for a reliable biomarker for the differentiation of axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) from its mimickers.

Methods: Consecutive patients with established or suspected AxSpA were enrolled.
