Highlights from the plenary session: clinically relevant outcomes.

Rheumatology (Oxford)

March 2025

Vasculitis Unit of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.

The plenary session on clinically relevant outcomes in systemic vasculitis emphasized the significance of monitoring creatinine, haematuria and proteinuria for predicting renal outcomes, recovery of kidney function in severe ANCA glomerulonephritis and outcomes post-kidney transplantation in anti-glomerular basement membrane disease. These findings have the potential to enhance clinical practice by refining prognostication and treatment strategies. Future research gaps include exploring the predictive role of proteinuria and understanding the impact of different clinical phenotypes on disease outcomes in Takayasu arteritis.

Background: Frailty has become an important health problem in the middle-aged and older people population. Physical activity (PA) is a key intervention for frailty prevention and management. However, studies of the association between COVID-19 pre-pandemic PA and the worsening or improvement of frailty during the pandemic remain unclear.

Background: The concept of 'cognitive frailty' (CF) was first developed by an international consensus group in 2013 and defined as evidence of both physical frailty and cognitive impairment without a clinical diagnosis of AD or another dementia. CF has been associated with adverse health outcomes and early identification is vital. Difficulty in the assessment of CF however is the lack of a diagnostic gold standard.

More complex surgeries are being performed in increasingly sicker patients, resulting in a greater burden of postoperative morbidity. Delineating the metabolic and bioenergetic changes that occur in response to surgical stress may further our understanding about how humans respond to injury and aid the identification of resilient and frail phenotypes. Skeletal muscle biopsies were taken from patients undergoing hepato-pancreatico-biliary surgery at the beginning and end of the procedure to measure mitochondrial respiration and thiol status.
