Role of Genetics Studied in Rheumatoid Arthritis Development
Genetic predisposition increases across predisease rheumatoid arthritis groups
App Aids Self-Monitoring of Some Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Patients with low disease activity using app-assisted patient-initiated care had fewer consultations with rheumatologists
Short Sleep Duration Causally Linked to Rheumatoid Arthritis
No evidence for correlation seen between RA and frequent insomnia, any insomnia, sleep duration, getting up, morningness, snoring
Genetic Liability to RA Linked to CAD, Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Association for coronary artery disease attenuated after adjustment for genetically predicted C-reactive protein levels
Risk Score Developed for RA-Linked Interstitial Lung Disease
Independent risk factors for rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-associated ILD include MUC5B rs35705950 T risk allele, male sex, older age at RA onset
Most Common Allergies Not Linked to Rheumatoid Arthritis
Some allergic conditions such as animal dander allergy and atopic dermatitis are associated with increased RA risk
Specific Dietary Components in RMDs Moderately Beneficial
Moderate evidence of small effect on disease progression seen for vitamin D, chondroitin, glucosamine for osteoarthritis
Sleep Problems Not a Major Issue in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Existing sleep problems related mainly to disease-related measures, such as pain and reduced function, more so than disease duration
Prevalence of Multimorbidity Up in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Prevalence of 24 of 44 previously defined morbidities and seven of 78 additional chronic disease categories significantly higher
DMARDs Not Linked to Alzheimer Risk for Seniors With RA
No reduction in ADRD risk seen for treatment with tofacitinib, tocilizumab, TNF inhibitors versus abatacept
