  1. 1. The impact of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the impact of RA on AITD

    Författare :Kristin Waldenlind; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Study I. Background: The Swedish National Patient Register (NPR) is a unique source for the identification of large cohorts of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. The general validity of this register has been reported to be high. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Surgical treatment of patients with displaced femoral neck fractures : aspects on outcome and selection criteria

    Författare :Richard Blomfeldt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :displaced cervical femoral neck fractures; internal fixation; arthroplasty; total hip replacement; bipolar hip replacement.;

    Sammanfattning : The optimal treatment for elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, i.e. internal fixation (IF), hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip replacement (THR), should be based on the individual patient's age, functional demands and risk profile. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Measure for measure. Outcome assessment of arthritis treatment in clinical practice

    Författare :Anders Gülfe; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TNF blockade; rheumatoid arthritis; utility; treatment continuation; agreement; health related quality of life; Outcome; response; psoriatic arthritis; spondyloarthritis; disease activity; observational study;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: To investigate (i) the performance and agreement between various activity indices and response criteria in TNF-blockade of RA; (ii) the predictive ability of different response criteria and disease activity states regarding continuation of anti-TNF treatment of RA; (iii) Euro-QoL-5-dimensions utility development during TNF blockade of RA, PsA and SpA. Also, (iv) to develop a simple, utility-based outcome measure, the number needed to treat per quality adjusted life year gained (NNQ) and apply it in RA, PsA and SpA patients on anti-TNF treatment.

  5. 4. Patient Reported Outcomes and Orthopedic Surgery in Rheumatoid Arthritis

    Författare :Korosh Hekmat; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rheumatoid Arthritis; Orthopaedic Surgery; Patient Reported Outcomes; Outcomes; Epidemiology;

    Sammanfattning : Orthopedic surgery is used effectively in many patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis RA). The aim of modern pharmacologic treatment is to prevent joint destruction and reduce the need for orthopedic surgery. Patient reported outcomes (PROs) are important measures of the burden of RA.

  7. 5. Extra-articular Rheumatoid Arthritis Risk Factors and Consequences

    Författare :Britt-Marie Nyhall-Wahlin; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiographic progression; disease activity burden; smoking; rheumatoid nodules; Rheumatoid arthritis; extra-articular manifestations; TNF-inhibitor treatment;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease not only restricted to the joints, but can also be associated with the development of extra-articular manifestations. Extra-articular RA (ExRA) is of clinical importance because of the associated morbidity and increased risk of premature mortality compared with RA patients in general. LÄS MER
