Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease with a prevalence of 1%, mainly affecting women aged 25-45. It is classified by the age of onset into young-onset rheumatoid arthritis (YORA, 16-65 years) and elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA, over 65 years), with EORA often presenting suddenly with systemic symptoms and large joint involvement due to age-related immune changes. This systematic review and meta-analysis compare the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of EORA and YORA.

Objective: To propose a new definition for SLEDAI arthritis informed by imaging.
Methods: We performed a planned secondary analysis of observational data from a multicentre study evaluating SLE patients with inflammatory joint pain (swelling not required) using various clinical instruments, laboratory tests and ultrasound. For SLEDAI arthritis, assessors (blinded to ultrasound) were asked which of the glossary terms for arthritis in any version of the SLEDAI drove their decision to score for arthritis.
