Inadequate identification of high cardiovascular risk and carotid plaques in rheumatoid arthritis patients by the 2024 Predicting Risk of Cardiovascular EVENTs and the 2013 Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease algorithms: findings from a Mexican cohort.

The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association introduced the Predicting Risk of Cardiovascular EVENTs (PREVENT™) algorithm to estimate the 10-year risk of developing cardiovascular disease. We aimed to assess the cardiovascular risk (CVR) reclassification among rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients using traditional CVR algorithms-the 2024 PREVENT™ and the 2013 Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD)-and the presence of carotid plaque (CP). This was a cross-sectional study nested of a RA patients' cohort.

Sociodemographic and obstetric factors may affect breastfeeding attitudes, self-efficacy, and knowledge in women with rheumatic diseases: a retrospective analysis of self-reported surveys.

Women with autoimmune rheumatic disease (ARDs) experience difficulties with BF in addition to those concerning their own disease. The aim of this study is to identify the impact factors as infant feeding attitude, the level of BF knowledge, BF self-efficacy, and the sociodemographic have in the intention to BF in women with ARDs. We performed an observational, retrospective, and analytical study.
