Objective: To examine the course of interstitial lung disease associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA-ILD) in France on treatment with Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) using the MAJIK-SFR registry.
Methods: Prospective national multicentre observational study identifying patients with RA-ILD from the MAJIK-SFR registry. Pulmonary assessment data were collected at JAKi initiation and follow-up visits (6 months, 12 months and a median of 21 months postinclusion), including chest high-resolution CT (HRCT), pulmonary function tests (forced vital capacity (FVC) and diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO)), acute exacerbations of ILD, respiratory infections and lung cancers.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of short message service (SMS) and/or email reminders in improving influenza vaccination coverage rates among rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with anti-TNF therapies, and to identify factors associated with vaccination.
Methods: A nested randomized controlled trial in the ART e-cohort, an ongoing French nationwide multicentre prospective cohort of RA patients treated with anti-TNF therapy. Patients were 1:1 randomized, with stratification on age.
Article Synopsis
- The French Society of Rheumatology updated its recommendations for managing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on the latest EULAR guidelines, involving a wide range of experts and patient representatives.
- The guidelines stress the importance of shared decision-making and comprehensive management for individuals with RA or those at risk, focusing on both drug and non-drug therapies.
- Additional emphasis is on the diagnosis and treatment of RA-related interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD), highlighting the need for collaboration between rheumatologists and pulmonologists for effective management.
Objectives: To investigate the frequency and factors associated with disease flare following vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in people with inflammatory/autoimmune rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (I-RMDs).
Methods: Data from the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology Coronavirus Vaccine physician-reported registry were used. Factors associated with flare in patients with I-RMDs were investigated using multivariable logistic regression adjusted for demographic and clinical factors.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how antidrug antibodies affect the effectiveness of certain medications for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
- It involved 254 patients from 27 centers across four European countries, who were starting new biologic treatments.
- Researchers measured the levels of these antibodies and patients' responses to the treatment at different times to better understand their connection.
