1. 6. Comorbidities in early rheumatoid arthritis

   Författare :Liselotte Tidblad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : All of the studies that form part of this thesis concern the subject of comorbid conditions in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We have used linkage of Swedish clinical and demographic registers as well as the Swedish Rheumatology Quality Register (SRQ) and the Epidemiological Investigation of RA (EIRA) study to investigate the prevalence of comorbidities in early RA, the influence of comorbidities on the choice of antirheumatic treatment and on the chance of remission.

3. 7. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Body Composition, Bone Loss, and Mortality

   Författare :Christina Book; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fat mass; bone mass; lean mass; body composition; mortality; rheumatoid arthritis; predictors;

   Sammanfattning : Early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (disease duration ≤1 year, n=165) were recruited 1995-2001 and followed systematically clinically and with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) over 2 years and compared to age- and gender-matched controls. Baseline arm and leg lean mass were decreased in RA patients in both genders and body mass index and truncal fat distribution were increased in female RA patients. LÄS MER

4. 8. Disease activity, function and costs in early rheumatoid arthritis

   Författare :Eva Hallert; Thomas Skogh; Jan Persson; Ronald van Vollenhoven; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antirheumatic agents; Rheumatoid arthritis; Cost of illness; Health care costs; Joints physiopathology; Sex factors; Rheumatology; Reumatologi;

   Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a major cause of progressive joint damage and disability, and is associated with decline in quality of life, reduced ability to work and increased health care utilisation. The economic consequences of the disease are substantial for the individuals and their families and for the society as a whole. LÄS MER

5. 9. Pharmacoepidemiological studies of rheumatoid arthritis : methodological considerations and applications

   Författare :Andrei Barbulescu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Study I – Biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and the risk of gastrointestinal perforations: Study I was motivated by previous signals of an increased risk of lower gastro-intestinal perforations among rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with tocilizumab. The primary aim of study I was to compare the incidence of lower gastro-intestinal perforations between RA patients initiating the biological DMARDs tocilizumab, abatacept, rituximab and tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi).

7. 10. Physical activity in rheumatoid arthritis

   Författare :Eva Eurenius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Attitudes; body functions; disability; epidemiology; exercise test; general health perception; physical activity; physical therapy; rheumatoid arthritis;

   Sammanfattning : Physical activity confers health benefits in the general population and should also be applied to people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, there is a need for more research in this area. LÄS MER
