The natural history of chronic widespread pain in patients with axial spondyloarthritis: a cohort study with clinical and self-tracking data.

Objectives: This study investigates longitudinal patterns, predictors and long-term impact of pain in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), using clinical and self-tracking data.

Methods: The presence of multisite pain (MSP), affecting at least six of nine body regions using a Margolis pain drawing, and subsequent chronic widespread pain (CWP), MSP at more than one timepoint, was assessed in a cohort of axSpA patients. Incident MSP (MSP at two consecutive visits or more), intermittent MSP (MSP at two or more non-consecutive visits) and persistent MSP (MSP at each visit) were described.

Estimated glucose disposal rate demographics and clinical characteristics of young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus: A cross-sectional pilot study.

Background: Estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is a practical measure of Insulin Resistance (IR) which can be easily incorporated into clinical practice. We profiled eGDR in younger adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) by their demographic and clinical characteristics.

Methods: In this single centre study, medical records of TIDM were assessed and eGDR tertiles correlated with demographic and clinical variables.

Comparative risk of Parkinsonism associated with olanzapine, risperidone and quetiapine in older adults-a propensity score matched cohort study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence of Parkinsonism in new users of second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) in older adults (≥65 years). In the secondary analyses, we examined the risk of Parkinsonism by type and dose of SGA and conducted age-sex interactions.

Method: This population-based study included older adults who had a new-onset diagnosis of Parkinsonism and who started taking olanzapine, risperidone or quetiapine between 1 January 2005, and 30 December 2016.
