    istics. Focusing on moderate or severe arthritis-attributable joint pain—a common form of pain that considerably harms individuals’ quality of life—we (1) compared joint pain prevalence across US states; (2) estimated educational disparities in joint pain across states; and (3) assessed whether state sociopolitical contexts help explain these 2 forms of cross-state variation. We linked individual-level data on 407,938 adults (ages 25-80 years) from the 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System with state-level data on 6 measures (eg, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP], Earned Income Tax Credit, Gini index, and social cohesion index). We conducted multilevel logistic regressions to identify predictors of joint pain and inequalities therein. Prevalence of joint pain varies strikingly across US states: the age-adjusted prevalence ranges from 6.9% in Minnesota to 23.1% in West Virginia. Educational gradients in joint pain exist in all states but vary substantially i

    This survey is open to people living with RA and in the UK only. We are interested in how women living with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) are affected by going through the menopause or post menopause.  We believe that not enough focus is given to menopausal symptoms and the effect it has on women with RA.  We would like your views and opinions on this to help us take this further with rheumatology…

    Objective Although hip arthroscopy is a widely adopted treatment option for hip-related pain, it is unknown whether preoperative clinical information can be used to assist surgical decision-making to avoid offering surgery to patients with limited potential for a successful outcome. We aimed to develop and validate clinical prediction models to identify patients more likely to have an unsuccessful or successful outcome 1 year post hip arthroscopy based on the patient acceptable symptom state. Methods Patient records were extracted from the Danish Hip Arthroscopy Registry (DHAR). A priori, 26 common clinical variables from DHAR were selected as prognostic factors, including demographics, radiographic parameters of hip morphology and self-reported measures. We used 1082 hip arthroscopy patients (surgery performed 25 April 2012 to 4 October 2017) to develop the clinical prediction models based on logistic regression analyses. The development models were internally validated using bootstra

    Risk of inflammatory arthritis is increased in people who have older siblings, or their tonsils out as children, says new research in RMD Open.   The findings support the theory that childhood infections have a role in the development of ankylosing spondylitis, which is characterised by inflammation of the spine, joints, and tendons. Genetic predisposition […]
