Ruth Jessen Hickman, MD  |  July 9, 2024

Clinicians should not rely on glucocorticoids as a first-line treatment of SARD-ILD in patients with systemic sclerosis, according to a strong recommendation in a new ILD treatment guideline from the ACR and CHEST. The guideline is one of two addressing the screening, monitoring and treatment of patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) secondary to systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs).

The Prospect of Rheumatoid Arthritis Prevention

Samantha C. Shapiro, MD  |  May 6, 2024

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is treatable, and for that, we should be grateful. But wouldn’t it be better if we could prevent it from even happening? Recent data from a study in China demonstrated some interesting results. Could an older type of diabetes medication be the answer we’ve been looking for? Background Preclinical studies have suggested…

3 AC&R Study Summaries: Frailty & Prefrailty in RA, Premature Mortality in Gout & Using Recruitment & Multidisciplinary Care Incentives to Improve Access

Research Review of Plant-Based Diet for Patients with Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid Arthritis

Ryan Basen  |  April 10, 2024

About 30 years ago, early in his career as a rheumatologist, Dirkjan van Schaardenburg, PhD, says patients with osteoarthritis experienced terrible problems with inflammation. The landscape has improved to the point that “people can live with it now,” he says. But they still need help. For example, osteoarthritis affects 7% of the global population, according…

Optimizing DMARD Use in Older Adults with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Devyani Misra, MD, MS, & Jiha Lee, MD, MHS  |  April 10, 2024

SAN DIEGO—Older adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) comprise two groups: those who have lived with diagnosed RA since an early age (young-onset RA) and those who have new-onset RA diagnosed at an older age (≥65 years), known as late-onset RA or, formerly, as elderly onset RA.1 Individuals with late-onset RA have more acute and systemic…

Poly-Refractory Rheumatoid Arthritis: An Uncommon Subset of a Difficult-to-Treat Disease

Arthritis & Rheumatology  |  March 26, 2024

Difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is defined as the failure of two or more classes of biologic or targeted synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) to control active or progressive disease in patients with RA. Between 5 and 20% of patients with RA have difficult-to-treat RA.

When to Check Drug Levels & Why

Stephen J. Balevic, MD, PhD, RhMSUS  |  March 7, 2024

Checking blood levels of commonly used disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) has gained widespread attention in the rheumatology community, even resulting in a recent guidance document from EULAR for biologics.1 Although a highly useful tool, drug level measurement in rheumatology is not without challenges; many of our drugs violate the basic principles of pharmacology that we…
