Gout & Excess Risk of Severe SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Arthritis & Rheumatology  |  January 3, 2023

In this large, population-based study, Xie et al. found that the risks of SARS-CoV-2 infection, 30-day hospitalization and 30-day death were higher among individuals with gout than individuals without gout in the general population, irrespective of COVID-19 vaccination status.

Understanding Risk in the COVID-19 Era

Ethan Craig, MD, MHS  |  November 14, 2021

On Sept. 9, my 5-year-old son boarded a bus for his first day of kindergarten. In some senses, this was no different from any other year. We spent weeks trying to get him excited for school (he is not a fan of changes). We went to kindergarten orientation, toured his classroom and sat on his…

Study Examines Tofacitinib’s Long-Term Cardiovascular Risk & More

Michele B. Kaufman, PharmD, BCGP  |  February 8, 2021

In a post-marketing safety study, tofacitinib did not prove non-inferior to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors when evaluated for its long-term effects on heart disease, malignancies and serious infections in RA patients.

Systemic Sclerosis Patients May Benefit from Targeted Stroke Screening

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  April 27, 2020

Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) may benefit from targeted stroke screening or prevention therapies. A recent study revealed SSc may be independently associated with stroke, finding the risk of stroke was 20–30% higher in SSc patients than healthy controls…

Increased Risk of Inflammatory Arthritis with Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Will Boggs, MD  |  January 27, 2020

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa face an increased risk of developing inflammatory arthritis, according to findings from a claims database. “We observed increased risks of developing ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) among patients with hidradenitis suppurativa when compared with those without hidradenitis suppurativa,” says Maria C. Schneeweiss, MD, of Brigham…

Risk Assessment & Treatment in APS Patients

Thomas R. Collins  |  June 12, 2019

The pathogenesis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is complicated and may involve local inflammation, vasculopathy, pregnancy complications and thrombosis. During the 2019 ACR State-of-the-Art Clinical Symposium, Lisa Sammaritano, MD, addressed the risk assessment and treatment of APS patients…

Galectin-3 May Be a Biomarker for Cardiovascular Disease in RA

Carina Stanton  |  March 25, 2019

Galectin-3 may have potential as a biomarker for the early onset of cardiovascular disease in RA patients, potentially enabling early intervention and deferring the cardiovascular risks associated with RA…

Rheumatoid Arthritis Risk Lower Among Smokers Who Quit

Lisa Rapaport  |  March 5, 2019

(Reuters Health)—Adults who quit smoking decades ago may have a lower risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) than people who gave up cigarettes more recently, a U.S. study suggests. Smoking has long been linked to an increased risk of RA, and quitting can reduce this risk. But the new study offers fresh evidence that years of…

History of Depression Is a Risk Factor for SLE in Women

Carina Stanton  |  February 28, 2019

Results from a 20-year, cohort study add to the evidence that depression increases the risk of developing an autoimmune disease, specifically SLE in women. Lead investigator Andrea Roberts, PhD, says, “There may be direct biological effects of depression that increase the risk of autoimmune disease.”…

Walking Ability of OA Patients Linked to Cardiovascular Risk

Arthritis Care & Research  |  February 5, 2019

New research explores the association of the ability to walk and the risk of cardiovascular disease in OA patients compared with the general population. During the study, researchers recorded a six-minute walking distance and measured arterial stiffness of participants. The results: Even among younger people, OA patients could not walk as far as those in the general population. Also, arterial stiffness was inversely associated with walking distance, suggesting walking is important to the cardiovascular risk profile of OA patients…
