概括
与类风湿性关节炎 (RA) 患者相比,患有牛皮性关节炎 (PsA) 的患者经历了更长的诊断延迟,并且接受的疾病修饰性抗风湿药物 (DMARD) 较少,这表明潜在的治疗不足和较差的结果.
科学领域:
- 类风湿病学 类风湿病学
- 临床免疫学临床免疫学
- 流行病学 流行病学
背景情况:
- 牛皮关节炎 (PsA) 和类风湿性关节炎 (RA) 是慢性炎症疾病,需要及时诊断和治疗.
- 诊断的延迟可能导致疾病活动增加和患者的治疗结果较差.
研究的目的:
- 为了比较患有PsA和RA的患者之间的诊断时间.
- 为了比较PSA与RA患者的初始治疗策略和疾病结果.
主要方法:
- 从国家早期炎症性关节炎审计 (2018年5月至2019年10月) 中确定了患有PsA的患者,并根据年龄和性别与RA患者匹配1: 1.
- 比较包括患者特征,诊断的时间,疾病活动和治疗开始,重点是多关节性心脏病.
主要成果:
- 患有PsA的患者在转诊前症状持续时间更长,从全科医生 (GP) 介绍到诊断的时间更长 (112天vs89天).
- 在转诊之前和在PsA患者的二次护理中观察到诊断延迟.
- 在基线时,与RA患者 (69.0%) 相比,PsA患者的病变修饰性抗风湿药物 (DMARD) 处方较少 (54.0%).
- 虽然RA患者的基线疾病活性较高,但PsA患者在3个月后在28个关节中显示出更高的平均疾病活动评分.
结论:
- 与RA患者相比,PsA患者面临更长的诊断延迟.
- 对PsA患者的DMARD开始较少,并在3个月后观察到疾病活动的改善较低,这表明潜在的治疗不足.
- 一个治疗到目标的策略通常是商定的,但它的实施可能对PSA来说是不理想的.

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
12.6K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
1.3K
The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...
